A Kenyan court recently declared a law banning seed sharing unconstitutional. This sparked a crucial debate: does such legislation protect farmers from counterfeit seeds or enable large corporations to control the market, impacting smallholders and traditional practices? #SeedRights 1/6
We urge EU co-legislators to ensure:
✅ Risk assessment, labelling & traceability for all #NGTs
✅ Protection of farmers’ & breeders’ #SeedRights
✅ Policies that prioritise diversity, resilience & long-term food security
👇Europe needs transparency, precaution & fairness🌱

It removes the only clause that explicitly allows farmers to exchange seeds they’ve grown.
Without it, even non-commercial sharing could be considered illegal.
