Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) protection is inclined towards the protection of the commercial interest rather than the rights of the creators or individuals. A balanced approach towards the protection of traditional knowledge and IPRs is required that safeguards the rights of farmers as well. The inclusive policies that enable and ensure equitable benefit sharing, protect the rights of the community, harmonize the customary laws with the IPRs are crucial in the present time. By promoting and advocating for the participatory governance, this chapter analyses the rights of farmers that foster sustainability and protect traditional knowledge simultaneously. It also examines the international legal instruments that recognize the protection of traditional knowledge. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
