Seed Sovereignty Movement

The Seed Sovereignty Movement advocates for farmers' rights to save, exchange, and freely use their own seeds, resisting corporate control over seed supplies. It aims to preserve genetic diversity, encourage sustainable farming practices, and protect local varieties from patenting and monopolization. By promoting seed independence, the movement supports farmers’ autonomy, resilience, and cultural heritage, ensuring they can cultivate crops suited to their environments without undue reliance on patented, commercially owned seeds.
