#BiodiversityConservation

As EU trilogues begin, join MEPs Herbert Dorfmann, @martinhaeusling.bsky.social & @christopheclergeau.bsky.social for a discussion on the future of #SeedDiversity, farmers’ rights & EU seed market.

Deregulating #newGMOs would mean:
‼️Patents on life & biopiracy
‼️Legal uncertainty & lawsuit risks for farmers/breeders
‼️Threats to organic & #GMOfree sectors
‼️More dependence on few seed giants
‼️Less #SeedDiversity & more food-system vulnerability
