A huge win for Kenyan farmers 🥳🎉
Guys do you remember this article by Kivaya on the law criminalising seed sharing or selling by small-holder farmers? Imagine kulala ndani juu ume'share mbegu na mkulima mwenzako!!
The Seed and Plant Varieties Act (Cap 326 of 2012) prohibits the sharing of uncertified seeds — a law meant to protect crop quality, but one that hits smallholder farmers hardest.
Ni oppression ama protection? https://mesh.life/view-post...
Well, last week, farmers and lobby groups successfully petitioned the High court to remove these punitive laws that prevented farmers from saving, sharing or even selling indigenous seeds 🌱.
A great win for organic and indigenous farmers 🧑🏾🌾🚜 especially 🥳!
