Seeds are the first input to be taken into account in the implementation of an effective agro-ecological transition. To date, and following more than sixty years of restrictive legislation on the marketing of seeds at the European level, a very limited number of "high-yielding" plant varieties and breeding materials are allowed to be placed on the market.

This situation has led to a growing dependence of farmers, market and amateur gardeners on the seed industry, while causing a radical erosion of crop biodiversity in our fields and on our plates.

In this context, Seeds4All aims to give voice & visibility to European actors contributing to scaling-up agrobiodiversity.

Together with many other European and national organisations, Seeds4All is committed to promoting and valuing initiatives for the cultivation, exchange, marketing and use of traditional and new public domain, freely reproducible and non-GM seed varieties.

By identifying and sharing the experiences and expectations of field operators, showcasing the beauty and benefits of resilient crop varieties, and providing spaces for peer learning and experimentation, Seeds4All wishes to contribute to strengthening the alternative seed sector and improving access to agrobiodiversity for all.
