Granting Intellectual Property Rights On Life Forms And Processes: Does It Ensure Food Security? A Developing Country Perspective
Granting Intellectual Property Rights On Life Forms And Processes: Does It Ensure Food Security? A Developing Country Perspective Summary:Abebe Abebayehu Chekol Publisher: Faculty of Law, University of the Western Cape Published: May 2005 Pages: 86 Type: Thesis A Mini-Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Law, (Mode II) in the Faculty of Law, University of the Western Cape. Indeed, many developing countries have been facing daunting social, economic, and health challenges. Falling within the larger domain of economic challenges, achieving basic food security has been one of the central problems for many of them. Hence, food security, as component element of sustainable development, is prominent on the domestic, as well as the international agendas of many countries from the South. The strong initiative to cut human suffering due to hunger and malnutrition in developing countries has therefore spawned a broad array of proposals. In the ongoing debate, thus, several strategies have been proposed for the achievement of food security in developing countries. It has been suggested that the path to sustainable food security in developing countries should emphasize, among other things, a transformation process that can move agriculture from its subsistence level through improved traditional farming, market and cash oriented agriculture. This approach subsumes, it is argued, the application of modern technology (biotechnology and genetic engineering) to the agricultural production process. It is highly claimed that this, in turn, can only be done by enhancing IPRs on life forms and processes. Accordingly, developing countries are being encouraged for the application of IPRs to life forms and processes, which is perceived to influence the pace and focus of advances in biotechnology, as a solution to their food security problems.6 This assertion, however, has ignited lots of controversies in almost every corners of the globe.
