LAND IS NOT A COMMODITY. IT IS LIFE.
The IPC releases its Position Paper ahead of ICARRD+20 — and the message is clear: we need transformative agrarian reform NOW. Read it. Share it. Organise.

3) The IPC calls on all contracting parties to the Treaty to refuse any compromise on expanding the scope of the MLS until patents on its #DigitalSequenceInformation #DSI will be forbidden by the #SMTA and revoked by national law. This red line shall not be crossed. #GB11

On 3 Dec, the next – and potentially last – #NGTs trilogue takes place.
In a statement w/200+ breeding & farming orgs across Europe we warn that deregulating #newGMOs would exacerbate patent issues and threaten farmers’, breeders’ and consumers’ rights.

Deregulating #newGMOs would mean:
‼️Patents on life & biopiracy
‼️Legal uncertainty & lawsuit risks for farmers/breeders
‼️Threats to organic & #GMOfree sectors
‼️More dependence on few seed giants
‼️Less #SeedDiversity & more food-system vulnerability
🧵
Centro Internazionale Crocevia retweeted
We urge EU co-legislators to ensure:
✅ Risk assessment, labelling & traceability for all #NGTs
✅ Protection of farmers’ & breeders’ #SeedRights
✅ Policies that prioritise diversity, resilience & long-term food security
👇Europe needs transparency, precaution & fairness🌱

1) Peasant organisations got kicked out of negotiations on the future of the @planttreaty multilateral system (MLS) , holding millions of seeds taken from their fields. These seeds are now patented due to severe loopholes in the MLS system of access and benefit sharing.

2) In a rush to conclude negotiations at #ItpgrfaGB11, the chair of the meeting fast-tracked the process, with massive lack transparency and making impossible for non English speakers to participate on equal footing. This is unacceptable. #GB11

While at @planttreaty #GB11
Japan delegate tries to mainstream #UPOV in the resolution on #FarmersRights, Kenya's High Court declares @UPOVint illegal, precisely for restricting farmers rights to seeds. We call on govts to isolate 🇯🇵 and secure the space

Hundreds of people, including @CICrocevia, took to the streets in Parma🇮🇹 over the weekend to protest the proposed deregulation of new #GMOs (NGTs). They oppose all attempts to remove traceability, labelling, and risk assessment for genetically modified and patented lab organisms

The IPC WG on #fisheries met Manuel Barange, director of FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture division. It was the opportunity to share the main challenges SSF are facing worldwide, and to discuss effective participation in FAO processes ✊✊🏾

Acqui Terme is also the largest city to date to approve the text proposed by @CICrocevia and the Italian Rural Association (ARI), who are concerned not just by the ecological and health risks of new GMOs but the development of patented products managed by a few multinationals.

"The proposed legislation still threatens farmers' livelihoods and the future of sustainable agriculture in Europe."
ECVC has long since been warning of the dangers of patents and calls on EU Member States not to support the proposal!

Why 🇮🇹 organic farms are hosting #newGMO field trials? @FederBio and @AIABfederale respond to @ilSalvagenteit, but we need much more than those statements to stop #NGT

🌍🌾 Gli Emirati Arabi, nonostante la loro ricchezza, soffrono di insicurezza alimentare: dalla dipendenza sono ora passati all'accumulo di terreni agricoli all'estero, attività agricole transnazionali in loro controllo, compresi porti e sistemi logistici.
