A critic lecture of the UE two faced approach to the Biodiversity: equal guaranty or multinational bio-raid? The importance of a self-reconsider of EU politic in Biodiversity, International Conference "Ambiente, alimentazione, energia. Modelli giuridici comparati per lo sviluppo sostenibile" 2015 October 5-8, Roma-Firenze

Agricultural biodiversity is the key asset for good public food security and for adaptation to climate change. Continuing efforts are being paid to conserve germplasm in ex-situ facilities, but on-farm conservation of traditional crop varieties is equally important given the co-evolutionary characteristics of genetic plant diversity. Given rampant market and policy failures, farm biodiversity is continuously being lost around the world. The paper aims to analyse in a critical manner the EU two faced approach to Biodiversity proposing legal transfer models based on "benefit sharing" to the local community avoiding multinational bio-raid. Particular attention will be posed on the use of benefit-sharing tools of the new varieties that are derived from the traditional plant material, with the view to increase the benefits for the local communities that traditionally maintain the selected, in the light of the Constitutional interpretation of Article 2, prot. 1 of ECHR for the European farmers and for implementing Farmers' Rights Submitted by Contracting Parties and Relevant Organizations according Nagoya Protocol and Reg. UE n. 511/2014.
