Imagine being unable to share your seeds with your neighbours - all because a corporation on a different continent owns the rights.
Now imagine that doing so could land you with a criminal record - as is the case in Indonesia, where farmers have been prosecuted for saving and sharing particular crop varieties.
An obscure trade convention called UPOV91 is the reason behind this - and the UK is complicit in spreading it around the world.
UPOV91 makes it illegal for farmers to freely save, swap or sell some of their own seeds - and it's currently present in 19 UK trade deals with 68 countries around the world - 19 in the Global South.
Add your name and stand against corporate overreach that criminalises farmers - and together, we can #StopUPOV.
