Since the 1940s farmers have preferred hybrid seeds that don't breed true. Saving seeds is an extremely stupid thing to do, so no farmer hesitates to sign the agreement.

I know nothing about this field, but people who do understand the situation in Kenya seem to disagree with you.

Your second link is some kind of NGO the whole agenda of which is to promote seed savings. Hardly an objective source to learn the attitudes to seed saving of Kenyan farmers.
I have no idea what the UK is trying to accomplish with that paperwork, so I can't comment on it.
Hard disagree. I know of a good few farmers seedsaving. They mostly do relatively small scale and/or organic and one I'm particularly close to's business is mostly centered around selling seeds so that's definitely not representative....but I dare say it's still a dumb statement. Especially in the context of Kenyan farmers where the majority of farms are comparatively small as per quick google.
sales totals as evidence?
> farmers have preferred
Which farmers, in what markets?
> hybrid seeds that don't breed true
does this apply to the Organic markets as defined by the legal definition of Organic ?
> Saving seeds is an extremely stupid thing
extremely stupid statements quickly accuse others of being extremely stupid, in my experience
> so no farmer hesitates
hesitation.. you mean understanding the agreement? then deciding on your own, with your own counsel ?
> sign the agreement
which legal jurisdiction ? what language is the agreement in ? where is the venue for resolution of conflict?
