“Rights and freedoms are only discussed during election periods,
but those same rights and freedoms are violated every day.
I am talking about the right to eat healthy and nutritious food, to save indigenous seeds, to exchange technology. In Sri Lanka, a few big corporations are interfering with the whole agricultural sector and trying to steal these basic rights, with support from the government.
I want to make sure that our traditional seeds and technologies are available again in our culture, and I want to see Food Sovereignty back in the hands of small farmers.”
