The need for a report for Seed Freedom grew out of the process of our collective writing on the state of GMOS in 2011: The GMO Emperor Has No Clothes. To create food and agriculture systems that are chemical free and GMO free, we need to begin with the seed.
At the local level, hundreds of communities, networks and organizations and millions of seed keepers and seed defenders are saving seeds, working to protect and keep seeds free and fighting laws that undermine our seed sovereignty. However, at the global level it is
the corporate control that is shaping the future of the seed. We are determined to change this by joining forces through creating a Global Citizens Alliance for Seed Freedom and ‘connect the dots’ of the many voices around the globe to add strength to the movement to keep seed free. The report is a first step towards building this alliance.
The Seed Freedom campaign aims to alert people, communities, institutions and governments of the serious risk to the future of the world’s seed and food security and what must be done to reverse it.
Our first objective is self empowerment of citizens who are aware that they have the power to liberate the seed and themselves. Our second objective is to have empowered citizens put pressure on Governments and institutions to roll back Patents on Seeds and Seed Laws that rob us of Seed Freedom. These include the White House, EU, WTO and National Governments. Corporations like Monsanto through the government of the US is imposing laws for seed slavery and seed
dictatorship worldwide. Our third objective is to reclaim our democracy and through our democratic institutions
and processes from the local to the global level, pass Laws for Seed freedom.
The report has been written through a participatory process by over a 100 individuals, communities, networks and organizations. It takes stock of the erosion of seed and seed sovereignty and the deepening seed emergency. It combines stories from seed savers with those from seed defenders. It captures both the history of past initiatives for liberating the seed as well as creative alternatives which are shaping a future beyond monocultures and
monopolies towards diversity and the commons.
We realize that there are many individuals, grassroots organizations and networks engaged in the vital work of liberating the seed whom we do not yet know. We hope through the process of building our movement globally we will reach out to each other and strengthen our common work and be the change we want to see. |
