Ask your sub-county leader: where is our legal protection under UNDROP Article 19? If the #EACSeedBill2025 strips local rights, our leaders must reject it outright! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

A seed law is a kitchen table policy. When smallholders are forced to buy expensive hybrid seeds every season, food prices skyrocket for every consumer in Kampala and across the country. @CefrohtUg #UnitedForLocalSeeds

Restricting farm-saved seeds turns self-reliant Ugandan farmers into corporate tenants on their own land. Protect Farmer-Managed Seed Systems (FMSS) or send the draft back to the drawing board! @ESAFFUG #SeedSovereignty

If 80% of Kenya's seeds come from local farmers, why does 0% of the proposed regional seed committee represent them? Give smallholders a seat at the table or halt the process entirely. #EACSeedBill2025 #FMSS. #ImproveTheEACSeedBill

[Kabuya Joan @joan_kabuya]

Harmonizing regional seed laws should never mean wiping out Farmer-Managed Seed Systems (FMSS). We demand a law that treats local farmer seeds and commercial seeds equally! @MVIWATA #SeedSovereignty

Soutenez @ESAFFburundi et FOPABU ! Exigez que l’Assemblée législative de l’Afrique de l’Est (EALA) place les droits des petits exploitants au centre de la politique régionale. @InadesBurundi @ADISCO @oapburundi #EACSeedBill2025 #UnitedForLocalSeeds

[Ferdinand MUSIKA @Ferdcurry34]

Public consultations must be meaningful, not just a formality. Article 127(3) requires consulting smallholders before finalizing bills, not after. Pause #EACSeedBill2025 now! @CEFROHT #SeedSovereignty

[Tom Woodworth @TomWodeya]

Food market prices will rise for urban consumers if farmers are legally locked into purchasing foreign hybrid seeds every single season. This law affects every consumer! @RwandaRoam @ImbaragaO

[Center for Food and Adequate Living Rights Ug @CefrohtUg]

A seed law isn't an agriculture policy. It's a household budget policy. When a family can no longer save seed, that family buys seed every season, forever. In East Africa, that's most homes.

The #EACSeedBill2025 must protect household seed rights, not price them out.

Public hearings on the #EACSeedBill2025 are open. If you eat, you have a stake in this. Tell #EALA: recognize Farmer Managed Seed Systems under ITPGRFA Article 9, or send this Bill back to the drawing board! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026

Why adopt strict UPOV 1991 rules when international law only requires an "effective system"? India created a fair system protecting farmers. East Africa deserves better! @CEFROHT #StopUPOV

70–80% de nos semences proviennent des agriculteurs. Une loi qui les ignore est défaillante. Corrigez cette moitié, ou elle n’est pas prête à être adoptée. #SeedSovereignty #ImproveTheSeedBill @ESAFFburundi @InadesBurundi @ADISCO @oapburundi
