1. Overview

In today’s world, the true decision-makers of what we grow and what we eat are no longer farmers, but a handful of agricultural giants hidden behind patents and capital. These corporations control more than 75% of the commercial seed market, holding key breeding technologies, genetic patents, and distribution channels—constructing an almost impenetrable biological copyright wall.”

These seeds are not designed for the land or the climate, but for profit maximization. Farmers are forced to purchase “sterile seeds” year after year. Local and traditional varieties are gradually erased, stripping agriculture of its adaptability and biodiversity. The global food system is being bound by “code” controlled by just a few corporations.

This “seed hegemony” not only erases crop diversity but also turns agriculture into a colony of capital. Indigenous varieties face extinction, climate resilience is ignored, and the very foundation of farming is being silently hollowed out.

But today, we have the chance to break free.

We believe seeds are the shared heritage of humanity, not commodities; they embody the collective wisdom of communities, not tools of patent monopolies.

This is more than an agricultural reform — this is a new open-source movement.

Just as RISC-V is breaking the monopoly of chip architectures, and GitHub empowers developers worldwide to co-create the software world, we are building an open-source agricultural ecosystem with seeds as its foundation:

  • Open-source Seeds: Anyone can participate in breeding, validation, and improvement, with records stored on-chain and shared openly.

  • Open-source Farms: Planting data, environmental parameters, and soil information are fully transparent, enabling collaborative optimization.

  • Open-source Food Systems: From farm to table, every step is community-driven, monitored, and fully traceable.

We are launching a bottom-up decentralized seed revolution. Through collaborative variety development, on-chain verification, and community governance, we aim to build a trustless, censorship-resistant “public seed network.”

What we are building is not only an agricultural network for Earth but the agricultural infrastructure for a multi-planetary civilization. Humanity must not bring capital’s cycle of exploitation into space. Instead, decentralization and self-governance should ensure that every seed, every piece of land, and every bite of food serves the well-being of all.

This is a struggle for food sovereignty, ecological justice, and the freedom of future agriculture. It requires the participation of every farmer, developer, researcher, and individual.

This is the reconstruction of technology and bioethics — a global collaboration to redefine the very right to cultivate from the ground up.
