One of these issues is that of access, which is mostly approached from a rights perspective. Here it is argued that such a rights perspective limits a critical reflection on the possibilities for enhancing accessibility to the Plant Genetic Resources (PGRs) on three grounds and to go beyond this limitation, we introduce an ability perspective. The ability perspective brings into focus how farmers organise their access to PGRs and is researched in four PGRs conservation banks in India; one ex situ and three in situ. An informal system of conservation (in situ) and sharing through informal networks is found to provide better access mechanisms for the small and marginal farmers in India, while access to conserved resources stored at the three in situ banks created biosocial relations and biosocial commons. However, each case studied had certain disadvantages in respect of granting access to the farmers, so additional mechanisms to facilitate better access to the conserved resources are suggested. 000041880 525__ $$aPublished in : The Journal of World Intellectual Property, vol. 21, no. 3-4 (2018), pp. 157-175. 000041880 542__ $$aCC BY-NC-ND 4.0 000041880 650_0 $$aAbilty 000041880 650_0 $$aAccess 000041880 650_0 $$aCommons 000041880 650_0 $$aIntellectual property rights 000041880 650_0 $$aGenetic resources 000041880 650_0 $$zIndia 000041880 85641 $$uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jwip.12102$$yView this resource 000041880 904__ $$aArticle 000041880 980__ $$aBIB
