Navdanya International published Seed Freedom: A Global Citizens’ Report in October 2012 as part of its international campaign to “alert people, communities, institutions and governments of the serious risk to the future of the world’s seed and food security and what must be done to reverse it.” The report was written through a participatory process by over a 100 individuals, communities, networks and organizations. It takes stock of the erosion of seed and seed sovereignty and the deepening seed emergency. It combines stories from seed savers with those from seed defenders. It captures both the history of past initiatives for liberating the seed as well as creative alternatives that are shaping a future beyond monocultures and monopolies towards diversity and the commons.
