The new seed brochure Seed Markets, Agroecology, and the Right to Food – by Brot fuer die Welt and HEKS/EPER provides insights from an advocacy journey about the EU Seed Marketing Reform.
The brochure addresses the link between seed laws, human rights, and sustainable agriculture, focusing on the importance of the right to food and agricultural biodiversity. It outlines the advocacy approach based on Policy Coherence for Development and the EU Better Regulation Guidelines, which address policy coherence concerns. The EU acts as a global standard-setter, an economic actor and important trading partner in the global seed market. Its seed regulations have an impact on seed systems in the Global South, whether through trade agreements, procurement regulations, donor support, technical assistance and capacity building in third countries, or other mechanisms.
