Dutch MPs request the Dutch gov to advocate within @UPOVint to broaden the convention’s private and non-commercial use #pncu exemption for smallholder farmers. #seedfreedom #smallholder seeds for #FoodSecurity and #FoodSovereignty
❗️Het is belangrijk dat Nederland @IGG_NL @minlnv er bij @UPOVint voor pleit dat dit verdrag een betere deal wordt voor kleinschalige boeren. Voorstel van @Danielle_H_BE en @Ct_teunissen om de uitzonderingspositie van kleinschalige boeren te verruimen verdient steun!🌱 @SeedNL
📢Tomorrow the Parliamentary committee @EU_ENV will vote on deregulating #NGTs.🚫Gene edited crops won't solve world hunger - rather the opposite as patents on NGT plants threaten farmers' & breeders' access to genetic diversity and thereby food security. sdhsprogram.org/gene-edited-cr…
The actual location of this side event is the Sheik Zayed Center (not the Ethiopia Room).
📢👉For those attending @planttreaty #GB10 in Rome, do come to our side event on 👨🌾farmer variety registration 👩🌾,in Ethiopia Room, tonight 18:15-19:30! 🌱@BiovIntCIAT_eng @OxfamUganda @ESAFFUG @pelum_uganda @IPCSovereignty @SeedNL @IGG_NL @ZAAB_org @mitchnan @Seedsavers_KE
Smallholders should be allowed to use/exchange protected varieties as a subsistence strategy. 2 weeks ago, @UPOVint members failed to formulate ambitious next steps to provide better perspectives for smallholder farmers. #noncommercialuse Write up here 👉sdhsprogram.org/document/no-su…
At the @nfp_sdg2 World Food Day event Oct 12 in the Netherlands, we kicked off @SeedNL’s podcast series with a podcast discussing farmer rights vs plant breeder rights! @TeshomeHunduma @EuroseedsEU Read @oxfamnovib’s position paper here: sdhsprogram.org/document/recon…
Well written longread about the dispossesion of indigenous #seeds being a last battleground of the neocolonial appropriation of Africa's productive resources, smashing farmers' economic self-determination, increasing dependencies. Disconcerning.
#MustRead over mega-#landbouw bedrijven die, gesteund door #BillGates en Westerse regeringen, boeren in de hele wereld het recht op het vermenigvuldigen van zaden willen ontnemen, en de voedselzekerheid in gevaar brengen. @viacampesina @GRAIN_org @IGG_NL thenation.com/article/world/…

If you missed the chance to attend, don’t be upset. Another session will be held in Spanish and English today, 07 September at 08:30 AM CST/16.30 PM CEST. #PGRFA #Webinar #SustainableAgriculture
To explore how farmers and CSOs harness #seeds from national and int'l genebanks & to learn from case studies of joint efforts to enhance local production systems & community diversity management, an exciting webinar was held this morning by @oxfamnovib, @CGIAR, and @CtdtZimbabwe
'Food security and nutrition can no longer be measured in yields or high productivity based on fertiliser, hybridised and GMO seed' says CTDT's @mitchnan in @ZAAB_org and @TimothyAWise strong op-ed. #Agroecology now! #AGRF2023 @TheAGRF aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/…
📢This Thursday, Sept 7, @oxfamnovib, @CGIAR and @CtdtZimbabwe organize a webinar (2x: Eng/Fr and Eng/Spa) on 'Improving smallholder farmers’ and NGOs’ access to genebank materials'.👩🏾🌾👨🏾🌾🌽🫘🥔🌾Register here: cgiar.org/news-events/ev…
Hear hear! One way to promote African food systems, food sovereignty and agrobiodiversity conservation is for African governments to allow for the registration of farmer seed varieties. Working on this with @pelum_uganda and others sdhsprogram.org/farmers-variet…
#MyFoodIsAfrican If we continue to open our doors to trades, imperialism & neocolonialism, we risk losing our identity. An African Food Policy would depict our values and rich diversity, helping us stand firm & protect our heritage- @AkiaPhiona bit.ly/3Kf6U1s
❗️Reposting this to amplify this great effort of @sdhsprogram partner @ZAAB_org ! 🌱👩🏾🌾#MyFoodIsAfrican
📣 Help us spread the word! 🌾🌍 The #MyFoodIsAfrican campaign has launched in partnership with @_AfricanUnion and @Afsafrica to raise public awareness on the diversity and value of Zambian seeds and foods, while promoting their contribution to sustainable #foodsystems.
Instead of corporate capture of global food decision making, we need responsive, transparent and accountable food governance, in which Farmer Rights and farmer managed seed systems are duly respected and promoted. #FoodSystems4People
🚨Overcoming the global crisis of hunger and malnutrition requires urgent and coordinated actions that respond to the rights and demands of those most affected. Let us voice our deep concern on the 1st day of the UN Food Systems Summit #UNFSS2023 & beyond! #FoodSystems4People

@NoPatentsOnSeed handed over their report on alarming patents trends to the European Patent Office in The Hague. We co-hosted a session, inviting members of parliament to hear Dutch breeders & farmers. This trend affects all farmers, in the Global South too!
@Maaike_Bionext: "If we don't end patents on seeds now, seed companies will soon employ more lawyers than breeders." That's why we say, loud and clear📢: 🚫 #nopatentsonseeds🌱!
The Netherlands can also follow Austria's 🇦🇹example by tightening up existing legislation on this: no-patents-on-seeds.org/en/news/law-au…
Yesterday @oxfamnovib / the SD=HS program together with @NoPatentsOnSeed handed over a new patent report to the @EPOorg. We discussed findings with Dutch MPs and sectoral stakeholder like @PlantumNL and @BionextTweets. Here's a 🧵:
