| THE CONTENTS OF FARMERS'
RIGHTS: What this may mean in practice Based on the working definition and the discussion in previous sections, we can derive three core challenges to realising Farmers' Rights, which are shared among most stakeholders:  Upholding and developing legal
space for farmers' customary practices related to agro-biodiversity
(related to paragraph 9.3 of the International Treaty). Creating recognition, reward and support mechanisms for
farmers' contributions to the global pool of genetic resources (related to
paragraphs 9.2.a and b of the International Treaty). Enabling farmers' participation in relevant decision
making processes (related to paragraph 9.2.c of the International
Treaty).Different stakeholders and countries may want add challenges to this list, and certainly there are many possibilities. The point here is that these are the challenges that are most widely shared among stakeholders and thus probably a good starting point. If these issues would be solved, we would have made great progress in the realization of Farmers' Rights. Read about how this can be done at 'How to realize Farmers' Rights'.
