On protecting farmers’ new varieties: new approaches to rights on collective innovations in plant genetic resources by Salazar, Rene, Louwaars, Niels P., Visser, Bert

“…Current farmers’ breeding goes beyond the gradual selection in landraces, and includes development and maintenance of major new farmers’ varieties that are rather uniform, in particular in South-East Asia. Modern varieties developed in the formal sector have simply replaced landraces as the source of diversity, but have not abolished farmers’ breeding practices. …”
