The variant of life on earth and its biological diversity is commonly known as biodiversity. The convention of life on earth says , "at least 40% of world's economy and 80% of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources. In addition the greater the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries, economic development and adaptive responses to such new challenges as climate change". Therefore, we can say that biodiversity is the hallmark of life on earth.
According to a survey we come to know that the whole world is sharing a bowl consisting of 20 cultivation crops. And these 20 crops make up to 90% the world calorie intake. the most alarming fact is that all these are majorly grown in developed countries and the growth of these crops are not been evenly distributed among different areas of the world. This has inturn created an imbalance in the system.
We know that IPR has always been supporting commercialization of crops. Therefore in adoptance of IPR and the governmental schemes the farmers of various areas which are geographically distinct can take up various forms of commercialized crops. This shall inturn help in uniform distribution of cultivation and hence help in stabilizing the biodiversity of the world.
In addition to this, another major impact shall be on the fertility of the land. Commercialization of crop shall stop monoculture crop cultivation and see to that the fertility of the land has been maintained through cultivation of various crops according to seasons. Being in a country like India the major issue that has been faced by the farmers today is poverty. The same shall be reduced to a very large extent by growth of commercial crops.
