WEBINAR: Seed Freedom & Intellectual Property Rights

Ownership of seed is a complex topic that can be confusing and polarizing. This recorded webinar can help you get a handle on it.

As legislative frameworks and corporate practices change, so do community responses to meet challenges and opportunities in seed production, saving and exchange. This webinar provides an overview of Canadian Intellectual Property Rights, and explores the topic of seed ownership. Brought to you by our Canadian program, The Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security.

The webinar is split into three segments, each highlighting a different panelist. Check out all three clips below.
