Abstract
In order to promote agricultural innovation, there are various major steps taken in India. The Government of India has taken many steps and passed legislation for agriculture promotion in India. The two major acts which are passed are (i) the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act 1999 (GIs Act), and (ii) the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001(PPVFR). Both the acts boost agriculture innovation and help in the protection of farmer’s rights. This research paper is going to do an analysis as to how these two legislations promote agriculture innovation. The previous study shows that the farmers were not aware of legislation and not able to take benefits of this legislation. The research paper finally deals with the need for an awareness program, so that Indian farmers take appropriate benefits of both this legislation. The paper deals with some specific provisions of the GIs Act and the PPVFR Act. Some examples of rice verities from Kerala are also discussed in the paper. The increase in market price values after having GI certification and tag is discussed also.
