Post by International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV)

Every drought-resistant crop, every longer-lasting bloom, every better-tasting fruit, someone bred that. And it took years. So how do we keep that work going? That's the job of Plant Breeders' Rights (PBR) and the UPOV system. By protecting new plant varieties, they give breeders a reason to keep innovating, and the benefits reach far wider than most people realize: → Innovation in plant breeding → Global food security → International cooperation → Economic growth and rural jobs → Agricultural sustainability Which of these five matters most where you are? #UPOV #FoodSecurity #PlantBreeding
