The global imposition of intellectual property rights to plant genetic resources leads to the corporate appropriation of biodiversity and set in place serious constraints on the free exchange of seeds among farmers andbreeders. Seed, and by consequence food, are by consequence entirelycommoditized. In this article the story is told of how the patent law hasbecome applicable to living matter and how this institutional change hasaffected biodiversity, agriculture and food. Finally the social movementsare presented who struggle to maintain agriculture free and food and seedsnot as simple commodities, but as global common goods.
