Summary
This report presents the
results and proceedings of the Global Consultations on Farmers. Rights carried
out in 2010. Consisting of both an e-mail based survey and an international
consultation conference with regional components held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
the consultations were organized as a response to Resolution 6/2009 of the
Governing Body of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food
and Agriculture, which called for regional workshops on Farmers. Rights. In the
two phases of the consultations, a total of 171 experts and stakeholders from
46 countries in Africa, Asia, the Near East, Latin America and the Caribbean,
North America and Europe, and from farmer organizations, government
institutions, the seed industry, NGOs, IGOs, research institutions and other
relevant groups participated. The participants shared their views and
experiences and discussed obstacles and options to the realization of Farmers.
Rights. The consultation conference resulted in recommendations from the
regional groups as well as joint recommendations from the conference. The prime
concern among most participants is the need for guidance, support and capacity
building to develop or adjust national legislation, policies, strategies and
programs for the realization of Farmers' Rights.
