Eaton, D. | Kalaugher, E. | Bijman, J.
Policy issues related to plant genetic resources are socially, technically and scientifically complex. This report summarises the international agreements and relevant bodies concerning plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, including theConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD), FAO Global Plan of Action on Plant Genetic Resources (GPA), the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual PropertyRights (TRIPS), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). The various obligations arising from these conventions and treaties are reviewed. In so doing, thisreport concentrates exclusively on implications for plant genetic resources for food and agriculture while most of the agreements concern other resources and/or issues. The relationship between the agreements is analysed with reference to the evolution ofpolicy priorities from promoting use of genetic resources to supporting conservation, in part through the sharing of benefits arising from use. In addition, the implications for genetic resources policy in the Netherlands are outlined and existinginitiatives to fulfill these obligations are highlighted.
