The PVR regime needs to strike a balance between rewarding plant breeders for their efforts, because we want to reward and encourage innovation and economic development, but we also need to provide access to new varieties for growers and consumers—so it's striking a balance between those different aspects so that society as a whole can benefit. Now, the bill strikes this balance by strengthening intellectual property rights to encourage that innovation while still freely permitting breeders, commercial and recreational, to build on that innovation and grow new varieties.
