1. Biopiracy refers to the unauthorized commercial use of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. It occurs when biological material or traditional knowledge is collected without permission from the indigenous community and then patented. 2. Farmers' rights and plant breeders' rights aim to protect the contributions of farmers and plant breeders. Farmers' rights recognize the role of farmers in conserving biodiversity, while plant breeders' rights provide legal protection for new plant varieties. 3. Biopiracy can negatively impact biodiversity and food security by altering the environment and reducing genetic diversity. The loss of biodiversity also means a loss of future options.
