Joining Nature and Divinity, man has been working for tens of thousands of years not only to invent new plants, but also to improve plants, to discover develop and create new varieties of plants with high productivity, high energy value, resistant to disease, pests, low temperatures and drought. With results protected by a special law, a sui-generis law that deviates even from the golden rule of intellectual property, that of not protecting ideas and discoveries as they must belong to everyone and to no one at the same time.
