Breeding and seed production in Germany - not only science, but also politics

In the modern world there is a strong globalization. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy of many countries. In Germany, it has a special role to play by restructuring the national economy from fossil energy carriers to renewable resources. Availability of seeds today, as in the future, is a base value, this idea is shared by all plant breeders. The changed environmental conditions and consumer demands have increased the need for seeds of constantly improving varieties. Plant breeders meet this requirement, as they look to the future and invest a large share of their turnover in research and development. The fact that these investments should be refinanced, as it is done in other sectors of the economy, remains indisputable for plant breeding. This is so, first of all, for the regulation of re-cultivation, which must be reformed. discussed in the suit of German plant breeders in the European Court. Imbalance between variety protection and patent protection weakens the innovative system. Hope is given by a resolution issued in the European Parliament on the limitation of biopatents, followed by a corresponding interpretation of the biopatent prescriptions from the European Commission [6].
Keywords: Food safety, biopatents, genetic engineering, genetic resources, intellectual property, patent protection, re-cultivation, framework conditions, certified seeds (Z-seeds)
