Summary
Intellectual property (IP) scholars have spent considerable time demonstrating the global injustice produced by IP rights (IPRs). In any area where IP has taken on a significant role, it comes at a cost. The world’s food security, for example, is dependent upon corporate agriculture and biotechnology companies that control who can plant what and when they can plant it. These patent-protected products are virtually the only choice for modern farmers, even as these companies experiment indiscriminately with new patent-protected products that could have far-reaching impacts on the very ability to produce food in the future.
