take action

In May 2008 European governments will meet at the Convention on Biodiversity in Bonn to discuss Terminator Seeds. We want them to uphold and strengthen the ban they made in 2000. Poor farmers in the developing world need your help to make this happen. Here are some ways you can help persuade the British Government to do the right thing:

Be a seedsaver by signing our campaign seed packet and/or writing to your MP:

We would like you to write to your MP, asking them to lobby the UK government to uphold the current ban.

• We have produced a seed packet to raise awareness about the threat that Terminator technology poses to poor farmers in the developing world and to the environment. The seed packet contains the letter to send to your MP.

Order seed packets by sending the seedsaver campaign team an email now or by calling 0207 354 0883 

• Alternatively: Send them an email or letter, using the contents of the word document below or express your concerns in your own words. You can use the writetothem website to contact your MP by email (opens in a new window).
