Semillas libres frente a la privatización de la vi Semillas libres frente a la privatización de la vida
Los días 22 y 23 de noviembre Navdanya International participó en Semilla en Resistencia Global con nuestro nuevo informe sobre “Semillas de Resistencia – Desregulación de los OGM y Movilización Popular” (enlace en bio).
En la Ciudad de México, Semillas de Vida convocó a científicxs, campesinxs, comunidades indígenas y sociedad civil para un encuentro intergeneracional en defensa de semillas libres, sistemas alimentarios justos y de la naturaleza como un bien común vivo —no como un activo corporativo.
En un momento en el que el material genético, las semillas y los recursos naturales son objeto de privatización y control mediante nuevas técnicas genómicas, esta alianza es tanto necesaria como urgente. En Navdanya International nos honra regresar a México y contribuir a este proceso con nuestro nuevo informe referente a los desarrollos más recientes sobre Organismos Genéticamente Modificados (OGM) y las llamadas “Nuevas Técnicas Genómicas”, poniendo en evidencia la dirección a la que se orientan las nuevas legislaciones y los crecientes intentos por desregular y normalizar tecnologías que amenazan la biodiversidad, los derechos de las y los agricultores y la soberanía de las semillas. El informe también destaca la resistencia global que surge desde los movimientos de base, las redes campesinas y los pueblos indígenas que defienden la vida frente al acaparamiento. Lo que nos une es una comprensión compartida: la vida es una red de relaciones. Para vivir bien, debemos proteger esta red con cuidado, responsabilidad y respeto, entendiendo a las semillas, los suelos, las culturas y las comunidades como inseparables. Juntas y juntos, fortalecemos las raíces de un futuro basado en la dignidad, la biodiversidad y la soberanía colectiva.
La Fundación Semillas de Vida es una organización que nació en 2007 y impulsa la articulación de esfuerzos entre productores, consumidores y la comunidad científica y académica, para contribuir al conocimiento, la conservación y el mejoramiento de las razas de maíz mexicano y de las especies asociadas a la milpa, bajo principios de agricultura sustentable.

From a correctional facility to a school garden: 30 aromatic herb seedlings grown by inmates at the “San Michele” correctional facility in Alessandria, as part of a project called “Re‑seeding our future” funded by the Italian Hindu Union, were planted in the garden of the “Ignazio Vian” High School in Bracciano during an inclusive gardening workshop.
Many thanks to the Italian Hindu Union for donating the seedlings used during the workshop.

Launch of our new report exposing what lies beneat Launch of our new report exposing what lies beneath the shiny rhetoric of “New Genomic Techniques” (link in bio):
On November 22nd Navdanya International presented its new report on recent developments of “New Genomic Techniques” at the international Semilla de Resistencia Global event in Mexico City.
Our report traces the worrying political shifts of recent years and amplifies the voices of the Indigenous, small farmers’, and civil society movements who are resisting unjust deregulations that favour NGTs, exempting them from labeling, biosafety checks and traceability. Movements that, from Mexico to the world, defend seeds as a heritage of communities, not a commodity for corporate empires — a struggle echoed throughout our work resisting bio-imperialism and defending agrobiodiversty and biodiversity as a common good.
Despite being presented as cutting-edge and “nature-like,” NGTs hide an old story: the same industrial model of control over seeds, the same drive to patent life, the same threat to our biodiversity and agrobiodiversity. If NGT seeds were truly “just like nature,” they could not be patented. The political push to deregulate them while maintaining their patentability reveals the contradiction at the heart of this agenda — either they are artificial and risky, or we are witnessing a new attempt to privatize the living commons.
As NGTs tries to rebrand itself as “innovation,” we remind policymakers: real innovation protects life, not profits. Seed freedom, ecological integrity, and the rights of communities cannot be edited out.  Photo credits @ekiro

On #WorldSoilDay, we celebrate the quiet power of On #WorldSoilDay, we celebrate the quiet power of soil and the people who stay with the land, season after season, to protect it. 

Regeneration begins when we see soil as a living web that holds water, nurtures seeds, stores carbon, and sustains biodiversity beneath our feet. 

To regenerate is to choose care over extraction, reciprocity over domination, and the long time of earth over the short time of profit. 

Today is for the invisible work of roots, microbes, worms and farmers, and for the commitment to keep this living ground fertile for those who come after us.

Nella Giornata Mondiale del Suolo ricordiamo che un suolo sano è alla base del cibo, dell’acqua, del clima e della biodiversità. 

La rigenerazione dei suoli è un lavoro quotidiano fatto da contadini, comunità e territori che scelgono pratiche agricole rispettose della vita.

Rigenerare il suolo significa passare da un modello estrattivo a un modello fondato sulla cura, sui cicli naturali e sulla giustizia ecologica, per garantire futuro alle generazioni che verranno.�
