Abstract

This paper looks at the background to the proposed convention and examines the current negotations in the context of existing agreements for the conservation and use of genetic resources. It emphasises the role of farming communities in conservation and utilization of genetic resources and argues that their rights should be recognized and that funds should be made available to support their work.
