No Patents On Seeds! sounds the alarm: large companies such as Bayer (Monsanto) are being awarded more and more plant and seed patents by the European Patent Office. This is bad for biodiversity and our food sovereignty. #zaden #cultivate #harvests These companies decide what is grown, harvested and eaten here! Reclaim the Seeds is once again organizing a number of seed markets where you can buy, exchange or receive new seeds. The organization is committed to more biodiversity and a more robust food system, including by exchanging seeds of rare varieties.
The problem is not that they patent them, but that these seeds have been made resistant to pesticides.
The pharmaceutical industry, which works with taxpayers' money, always patents all medicines that they sell very dearly. This is much more ethically reprehensible.
