Farmers rights

Farmers' rights are the legal rights of farmers to store, save, grow, and share their own seeds, breeds, strains, and animal breeds. It means that instead of buying all their food and animal products from supermarkets or companies, farmers can grow and keep some of their own. This way, their family and friends can enjoy the same fresh products they have grown. Farmers' rights also help to preserve the diversity of crops, breeds, and species that are adapted to a certain climate or soil type and have been developed over generations to feed people and animals in a particular region. This historical knowledge is a valuable resource for future generations, and farmers' rights help to keep it alive.
