In fact, from the beginning, humanity has co-evolved with its environment. I am not an historian, but a biologist. We know that in the beginning, human beings were more nomadic. They began to select seeds and fruit in their environment. Since that time, they have contributed to creating biological varieties.
So this work has been going on for thousands of years and was not subject to obtaining a plant variety certificate. To a certain extent, when individuals or a business appropriate a seed, that is not recognized.
Moreover, it is that development which took place in the whole of humanity over thousands of years that leads our organization to support the recognition of seed as a common good that belongs to humanity.
