Organizations, activists and people from various professional and linguistic backgrounds will observe April 26 as International Seeds Day (ISD), advocating for patent-free seeds, organic food, and farmers' rights.
ISD will be an educational day for the public to learn about genetically modified food and its health hazards and effects, and the agribusiness of major US and European companies and their monopoly over the agriculture in Africa and Asia with emphasis on India, Iraq and Afghanistan.
It will be a day of solidarity with farmers in countries devastated by war (Afghanistan, Iraq & others) and of resistance.
