Intellectual property rights protecting peasant/native seeds?

In 2012, the legislature approved the so-called UPOV law, the New Plan Varieties Protection Law (Ley para la Protección de Obtención de Vegetales)^[1].

-Farmers may keep, exchange, and even sell own seeds (if properly packaged and labeled)

-Local seeds may not be privatized if ”discovered”

-Not all species may be privatized
