International Seeds Day is observed on April 26th every year to raise awareness about the importance of seeds in our lives and the need to preserve seed diversity. It is a day to celebrate the wonder of seeds, which are the foundation of our food systems and the basis of all life on Earth. This day is dedicated to advocating for patent-free seeds, organic food and farmers’ rights.
The International Seeds Day serves as a day to educate people about genetically modified foods and their hazardous effects on human health. The seed is the primary and focal input for sustainable agriculture. In this case, the effect of other inputs depends upon the quality of the seed used. International Seeds Day is an important day for raising awareness about the vital role of seeds in our lives and the need to conserve them for the benefit of current and future generations.
