Farmers’ participation in value-creation mechanisms: Updates on royalty collection

Farmers choose quality seeds for the particular benefits they bring. To sustainably provide quality seeds to farmers over time, value-creation mechanisms, such as enforcement mechanisms for breeders’ rights, are essential. At #WorldSeed2026, ISF will present two updated studies on value-creation mechanisms in wheat and soybean crops. These studies aime to provide a map of the general situation regarding the enforcement of plant breeders' rights in different countries, with a particular focus on royalty collection systems for licensing and the use of farm-saved seeds. 🗓️ Wednesday, 20 May 2026 🕐 13:00-13:30 Lisbon time/UTC+1 📍Channel World Seed studio, Centro de Congressos Lisboa (CCL), Portugal 🔗 Live on LinkedIn and Channel World Seed Speakers: - Miguel Rapela, ISF Consultant - Lorelei Garagancea, ISF - Diego Risso, URUPOV/SAA Moderator: Tania Karas, Devex
