Evasion of farm-saved seed payments is draining vital income away from investment in UK-based plant breeding.
The FAIR PLAY campaign seeks to establish a level playing-
field in which all farmers contribute fairly for the benefits of
using farm-saved seed (FSS).
Through FAIR PLAY, plant breeders and the farming unions
have joined forces to:
- ensure all farmers using farm-saved seed are clear about their legal responsibilities
- develop improved arrangements to identify and tackle non-compliance.
Farmers who play fair should not be subsidising those who don't,
and farmers who continue to break the rules will face legal action.
