Explanation:

The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture aims to ensure the conservation, sustainable use of plant - genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use. Protecting farmers' rights to benefit from plant genetic resources is one of its main goals. Option A is more about trade in general, not the main goal of this treaty.
