The European Commission is changing the European Union’s plant legislation, apparently to enhance food safety across the continent. This move has sparked a heavy opposition from many, saying that the measure will threaten seed diversity and favour large agrochemical businesses. This new law creates new powers to classify and regulate all plant life anywhere in Europe.
The “Plant Reproductive Material Law” regulates all plants. It contains restrictions on vegetables and woodland trees, as well as all other plants of any species. It will be illegal to grow, reproduce, or trade any vegetable seed or tree that has not been been tested and approved by the government, more specifically the “EU Plant Variety Agency.” [...] The new law basically puts the government in charge of all plants and seeds in Europe, and prevents home gardeners from growing their own plants from non-regulated seeds. If they did, they would now be considered criminals.

The U.S. has already seen its fair share of cases where backyard gardens and rain collectors are raided by SWAT teams, shut down through regulations and otherwise intimidated out of proliferation.

Yeh thanks, just trying to see what is real and not real in this issue, because i don't trust alternative media in the same way i don't trust main stream, they all have their masters and price.

Direct experience and prima facia source seems to be the definitive way, very few journalist / researchers seem to work like that now.

Theres already gardens growing stuff all over the place, I can't see how this can be enforced unless they want to drop napalm and agent orange all over the UK.

Well its true innit
They tried to ban weed too and that didn't work out well either, it made the plants more valuable though lol.

They'd be going for farms first then, theres so many small homegrowers out there they're going to have a hard time stopping it.
Then there's allotments too ofc, maybe some new council officer jobs there then lol.
