The purpose of this book is to show that the access to plant
genetic resources and the compliance to the objectives of the
Convention on Biological Diversity can only be realised in this
biotechnological era the world is facing, through the balance of
rights and duties of States and stakeholders. Specifically, this
book suggests that the global partnership as professed in the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, in 1992,
has so far not been reached. It examines the possibility of
achieving the global partnership through clear, fair, ethical, and
equitable biopartnerships in, between, and among States. For this
purpose, the author analyses international instruments and national
laws dealing with patents, plant breeders' rights, farmers' rights,
and sui generis protection and shows how they affect developing
countries rich in biodiversity and traditional knowledge, such as
Brazil. She raises awareness to problems derived from the patenting
of genetic resources, plants, and traditional knowledge and
presents sui generis alternatives proposed by different sectors of
society in several countries. The book critically examines five
biopartnerships of countries in four different continents. The
author proposes measures to protect traditional knowledge and
innovations and suggests in which indigenous peoples, traditional
farmers, and developing countries may achieve an equitable share of
benefits for their contribution in the development of new
medicines, foods, etc.
