Indigenous seeds have fed Africa for generations. They offer true security, independence, and self-reliance. Let’s defend seeds that can be planted over and over! #MyFoodIsAfrican #FMSS #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

Laws built exclusively for 15% certified seed ignore the 85% majority. UNDROP Article 19 covers all farmers. Equal recognition must be added to the #EACSeedBill2025, or it should not pass! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

Saving seed is skill and self-determination passed through generations, protected by CBD Article 8(j). The #EACSeedBill2025 must honor traditional seed skills, or it should not become law! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

@AAgather International macro economics isn't at a level, forgive them @AAgather
They need to have studied macro economics at university level especially makerere University for them to fully understand what the governor talked about.

Sharing local seed pouches saves communities during hard seasons (CBD Article 10(c)). Legalize informal seed distribution in the #EACSeedBill2025, or halt its enactment! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

[Tumwine Nicholas @nic95200]

Record elder knowledge on indigenous varieties under CBD Article 8(j) guidelines. The #EACSeedBill2025 must protect local heritage from biopiracy, or it should not proceed! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

[Tumwine Nicholas @nic95200]

Losing local crop varieties threatens community survival (ITPGRFA Article 5). The #EACSeedBill2025 must establish community protection mechanisms, or be sent back for rework! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

[Tumwine Nicholas @nic95200]

Selecting seed from healthy plants is active breeding under UNDROP Article 19. The #EACSeedBill2025 must recognize farmer-breeders, or it shouldn't be allowed to pass! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

[Tumwine Nicholas @nic95200]

Corporate patents cannot overwrite generations of community stewardship (Nagoya Protocol). Eliminate biopiracy gaps in the #EACSeedBill2025, or shut it down! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

.Is your MP fighting for Farmers' Rights under ITPGRFA Article 9? Tell them to demand clear farmer protections in the #EACSeedBill2025, or vote NO! #SeedSovereignty #UnitedForLocalSeeds #IndigenousSeedsEA2026 #ImproveTheSeedBill

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

[Tumwine Nicholas @nic95200]

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

[Tumwine Nicholas @nic95200]

Rural women are the primary guardians of indigenous food crops like sorghum, millet, and local beans. The EAC seed bill must recognize their stewardship and protect them from corporate enclosure. @MVIWATA #MbeguZaAsili
