Customary Rights

This chapter argues that the present global and national legal framework to commercialize seeds and varieties lacks vision in ensuring food security and customary rights for farmers. The monopolization of plant genetic resources is beneficial to plant breeders and large farmers in terms of access to resources and utilization of technology and research and development. The farmers’ freedom to save, share, and resow seeds needs to be protected to keep the plant germplasm alive. There shouldn’t be subordination of customary rights of farmers to any exclusive regime that restrains accessibility to, affordability of, and availability of resources for food security and sovereignty. The conclusion proves the argument of erosion of customary rights of farmers during the period of liberalization. In order to establish the statement, analysis of the economic and legal policy changes as against the international interference with economic rights regime is summarized in this chapter.

Insect Interactions

Food security and the sustainability of native ecosystems depends on plant-insect interactions in countless ways. Recently reported rapid and immense declines in insect numbers due to climate change, the use of pesticides and herbicides, the introduction of agricultural monocultures, and the destruction of insect native habitat, are all potential contributors to this grave situation. Some researchers are working towards a future where natural insect pollinators might be replaced with free-flying robotic bees, an ecologically problematic proposal. We argue instead that creating environments that are friendly to bees and exploring the use of other species for pollination and bio-control, particularly in non-European countries, are more ecologically sound approaches. The computer simulation of insect-plant interactions is a far more measured application of technology that may assist in managing, or averting, ‘Insect Armageddon' from both practical and ethical viewpoints.
