Vandana Shiva: Four companies today control the seed system.
They do not want farmers to have their own seeds. They treat farmers having their own seeds as violating their monopoly rights.
The monopoly rights are created through patenting and intellectual property. Intellectual property rights means I have created something "I'm an inventor." But seed is not a machine. It is not put together. Seed is evolution forever. Seed is renewable. Seed is multiplicative. One seed can give me a thousand seeds. In the case of millets 100,000 seeds.
When seeds are made non-renewable and seeds are designed for use of chemicals, what happens is biodiversity starts to disappear.
