As global food systems evolve, the increasing commercialization of seeds, genetic resources, and agricultural knowledge has raised concerns over farmers' autonomy, economic sustainability, and cultural heritage. This chapter explores the intersection of farmers' rights, IP law, and human rights, analyzing how legal frameworks impact their access to seeds, traditional knowledge, and economic sustainability. It highlights the tension between seed sovereignty and corporate patenting, where restrictive IP protections often limit farmers' ability to save, exchange, and breed seeds-practices that have been fundamental to sustainable agriculture for generations. Finally, it advocates for harmonized approach that upholds farmers' rights while fostering sustainable agricultural practices. By bridging legal protections and cultural heritage, the chapter underscores the importance of inclusive policies that ensure both economic viability and environmental resilience. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
