Abstract

In order to comply with obligation under WTO and also to provide incentives for private sector participation in plant varietal development research, several countries brought plant varieties under Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regime. This together with increasing consolidation and concentration of Agro-biochemical companies at global level under expanding frontier technologies for plant varietal development has raised concern regarding quality seed accessibility to farmers at affordable price. For achieving sustainable development goal of zero hunger by meeting food and nutritional security requirements, accessibility to quality seed at affordable price is prerequisite. To address this issue of accessibility of quality seed at affordable price, several market and non-market based innovative approaches are identified and are being experimented across different countries and regions of the World by different agencies focussing on different stakeholders. Some of these approaches are of voluntary nature involving partnership or contracts. Some approaches are governed by legislations but some are not governed by any legislation. Some approaches are complying with prevalent "Individualistic" IPR regimes but some approaches are based on "protected commons" IPR concept.  This study attempts to documents and examine these approaches, so as to get useful insights for effective adaptation of these mechanisms in Indian context.a
