The tragedy of hunger in many parts of the world is incompressible alongside the affluence and over consumption in other parts. Poverty is still the main explanation for hunger. Significantly 70% of the worlds hungry are involved in agriculture themselves either as smallholder or as land less laborer. These simple truths show that something is clearly wrong in how agriculture and the system are organized both worldwide and nationally. To ensure food security and reduce poverty levels, urgent changes and responses are needed from the government, the research community including the international agriculture research centers, the private sector, the international financial community, international cooperative agencies, the retail business and society at large. Every producer is having the right to fix the cost of its production and its price in the market except for the farmers who are they denies their right to get remunerative price for their production. The concept of farmer's rights was developed in response to the exploitation of intellectual property rights in plant varieties and remunerative price mechanism which is in vicious circle. In this paper an attempt has been made to discuss the strategies for cultivating farmer's rights -reconciling food security, indigenous agriculture and TRIPS. The rise of international treaties awarding intellectual property rights in plant genetic resources to plant breeders brought with it erosion of agriculture biodiversity as well indigenous farmers' life styles. Farmers' rights emerged in recognition of the role of traditional farmers' places in conservation, creating and promoting genetic diversity in the food supply and of the importance of maintaining traditional agriculture practices.
