Seed Sovereignty Advocacy
Seed sovereignty advocacy is a movement dedicated to ensuring that farmers retain control over their seeds, challenging the dominance of corporate-owned seed patents and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It emphasizes the preservation and exchange of local, non-GMO, and heirloom seeds, fostering biodiversity and food security. By supporting seed-saving practices, communities maintain their independence from large agribusinesses that often limit access to seeds and increase costs. Seed sovereignty also encourages the cultivation of resilient crop varieties that are adapted to local conditions. This advocacy strengthens agricultural systems by ensuring that communities have the freedom to grow, exchange, and preserve seeds for future generations, enhancing food sovereignty and sustainability.
