International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants

International conventions for the protection of new varieties of plants is a way for countries to work together to make sure that plants that are new and different are protected. This means that people and companies cannot take the plants without permission and use them without giving something in return. This way, it is easier for people to use new plants to create products that people need, like medicine, food, and clothing, without taking them away from their original owners.
