For 12,000 years, humans have helped to shape the Earth's #seeds and in turn, we've been shaped by them. However, in the last century, private interests and #corporateconsolidation have changed how seeds are grown, saved, shared, and sold. More ➡️ nongmoproject.org/blog/seed-wars…

The knowledge held by African farmers about seeds is sophisticated, diverse, and adaptive. It reflects centuries of ecological understanding and community resilience. Seed is life because knowledge is life. Let’s protect both. #SeedIsLife #FMSS #FoodSovereignty #SeedSovereignty

Patenting life is an act of injustice. When corporations patent seeds, they privatise nature, criminalise farmer seed practices, and compromise food security for generations to come. Seed laws must protect farmers, not corporations. #SeedIsLife #SeedSovereignty

Corporations are not interested in the health of our people or our environment. They are interested in PROFIT. Let's protect our right to seed sovereignty and the rights of our farmers to save, sell and exchange seed. #SeedSovereignty #FMSS

Farmer-managed seed systems have fed and healed communities for generations. They continue to offer solutions to today’s challenges: food insecurity, climate change, and biodiversity loss. To protect #FMSS is to protect our #FarmersRights. #SeedIsLife #SeedSovereignty

#SeedIsLife || Farmer Managed Seed Systems #FMSS African farmers have been planting, saving and exchanging seeds for countless generations – adapting them to their environment, their cultures and their tastes. Thanks to them, Africa has a rich diversity of nutritious food crops,

We need African solutions for African food systems. In Zambia, we know that the future lies in strengthening farmer-managed seed systems — not adopting colonial models like #UPOV1991. So we keep saying #NoToUPOV + no to the corporate capture of our FMSS!

Seed is cultural. When farmers save, share, and exchange seeds, they are practicing living culture and sustaining indigenous knowledge systems. The right to culture is inseparable from the right to seed sovereignty. #SeedIsLife #SeedSovereignty #FMSS

Multinational corporations are marginalising traditional seed systems, eroding biodiversity, and threatening the autonomy of smallholder farmers. Let's build resilience from the ground up by protecting the rights of farmers to seed. #SeedSovereignty
