  3. En #AméricaLatina se hacen presentes, una vez más, la campaña #StopUPOV y la semana de acción mundial contra la Unión para la Protección de Obtenciones Vegetales (#UPOV), convenio que amenaza en muchos países las #semillas y, con ello, la #agricultura #campesina e #indígena que alimenta al mundo.

  4. À qui profite l’#UPOV ?

    Avec l'expansion de l'UPOV (Union pour la protection des obtentions végétales, une sorte de brevet pour les #plantes), le marché mondial des #semences a été pris d'assaut par un cartel de sociétés #agrochimiques. Quatre d'entre elles seulement contrôlent la moitié du marché des semences, qui représente 47 Mrd $. #StopUPOV

  5. Who profits under #UPOV?

    As UPOV has expanded, the global #seed market has been taken over by a cartel of #agrochemical companies. Today, just four of these companies control half of the US$47 billion seed market.
