Every seed makes a political statement.<\/p>\n

Semantic innovations like seed commons, peasant seeds and seed sovereignty are a powerful expression of what may be termed as seed activism. In this opening paper of the JPS Special Forum on Seed Activism, we explore the surge of mobilizations the world over in response to processes of seed enclosures and loss of agrobiodiversity. A historical overview of the evolution of seed activism over the past three decades traces a paradigm shift from farmers\u2019 rights to seed sovereignty. Some of the main threats to peasant seed systems \u2013 from seed and intellectual property laws to biopiracy, corporate concentration and new genome editing technologies \u2013 are analyzed along with strategies by peasants and other activists to counter these developments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
