Community Experiences on Indigenous Seed Sovereignty & Seed Savers Rights
-
Description
-
The document outlines vital discussions from the Community Experiences on Indigenous Seed Sovereignty, focusing on rights, conservation, and challenges faced by indigenous farming communities. It highlights that India’s national genetic resources exceed 400,000 accessions across 1586 species, with significant varieties also stored globally. The text underscores the inadequacies of existing laws, such as the PPVFR Act and the National Seed Policy, which may undermine community rights over traditional seeds. It calls for stronger networks and governmental support to safeguard biodiversity against privatization and genetic manipulation, emphasizing the need for an open-source National Biodiversity Heritage Registry to protect collective heritage.
