Description Agriculture, plant germplasm and crop varieties were treated differently from the industrial products in the past but not any more. There are reportedly 75,000 species of edible plants worldwide but only 7,000 of them have been used for food and out of these less than 700 are actually commercialized currently (Chaudhary, 2000). Origin and speciation of most crops is million of years old while domestication is relatively recent. It is a notable fact that the currently exported food crops from the developed countries did not originate there. These crops were introduced in those "cash rich" countries, almost for free, from the "gene-rich" countries during the last 10,000 years, mostly during last 500 years. The agro-biodiversity created and fostered with human intervention across 12,000 years history of agriculture has stood the test of time and synergy with societies. Human civilizations exploited the germplasm for food, fiber, fuel and other purposes. Central dogma was the welfare of human beings with simple rules but not with individualization and profit motive. Scenes have changed now and the technology rich are exploiting the germplasm rich countries.
