From our friends at La Via Campesina and GRAIN:
“The Trans-Pacific trade pact comes into force on 30 December. Brunei, Chile, Mexico and Malaysia will have to join the specialised UPOV91 system of seed patenting. Plus, all TPP members vow to allow industrial patents on inventions ‘derived from plants’, meaning GMOs. Seed sharing will become illegal and food more corporatised! Resist!”
