Agree

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds

The PES's support for preventing the patenting of seeds aligns with its advocacy for farmers' rights, biodiversity, and against the monopolization of agricultural resources by large corporations. However, the score is slightly lower than for labeling, as the party's official stance on patent issues specifically related to seeds might not be as explicitly defined.
