Abstract

Brazil has a diverse array of regional specialty products that could benefit from the advancement of the institutional framework for geographical indications (GIs) and collective marks. However, the promotion of value addition and regional development through these intellectual property rights needs to be more closely integrated with food and nutrition security policies, as well as with biodiversity conservation and the promotion of nature-based climate solutions. This should occur within the context of improving strategies and instruments of intellectual property policy to foster a broader use of GIs.
