EU is preparing legislation that will make it illegal to grow crops that
are not on a list of approved seeds? A list that currently 60%
dominated by big corporations like Monsanto, AstraZenecar
and others?
The pros list are basically only hybrids - which means that you can not
take next year's seed from his crop.
Furthermore, it will not only be
forbidden to sell other seeds than those already mentioned, but also to
grow. "File sharing" in the area of seeds will become a criminal act.
This means that people be even less able to influence what you eat, when
you can not even decide what to grow. It also means that the varieties
that are historically interesting will disappear, even varieties that
can withstand our climate. This means that
poor people who live off what they grow is referred to in the
seedtrades discretion in terms of pricing, which can be costly where
there are few players.
