SHADO Somalia Food Security Organization seeds policy” there are
various types of legal and policy initiatives that directly affect
what kind of seeds small scale farmers can use. We focus on two:
intellectual property laws, which grant state-sanctioned monopolies to
plant breeders (at the expense of farmers’ rights), and seed marketing
laws, which regulate trade in seeds (often making it illegal to
exchange or market farmers’ seeds)
