Modern agricultural technologies, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), precision farming, and digital tools, promise increased productivity and sustainability. However, the associated intellectual property frameworks often limit farmers' traditional rights to save, share, and reuse seeds, raising ethical, economic, and legal concerns. This chapter critically examines the balance between fostering innovation and protecting farmers' rights, emphasizing the implications of patents, farmers and plant breeders' rights in terms of plant variety protection. Furthermore, it advocates for equitable policy frameworks that promote innovation while ensuring farmers' access to affordable, adaptable, and sustainable technologies. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders, a harmonious balance between innovation and farmers' rights can be achieved, supporting long-term agricultural resilience and food security. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
