Monsanto just doesnt stop trying to control other countries seed supplies. Violates the rights of indigenous peoples In a new report, the activist organization CER Ixim warned about the consequences of the Monsanto Law. The group said that, under the new law, the possession or exchange of seeds of protected varieties without the owners consent will be illegal and could lead to jail sentences for violators. In addition, noted CER Ixim, it will be illegal to possess any harvest from such seeds or to save them for future plantings. The law goes on to say that a breeders rights extend to varieties essentially derived from the protected variety. That also means a hybrid produced from a covered variety after crossbreeding with an uncovered variety is automatically covered under the law as well. The group said the new law promotes privatization and seed monopolization, which is a danger to food sovereignty, especially for indigenous peoples. And the groups report warned that the countrys biodiversity will now fall under the control of domestic and foreign companies.
