The problem is, if you can produce a variety of food in the marketplace that doesn’t seed, for whatever reason and these varieties become the standard...what are you left to fall back on should something like this happen? If “natural” and yes I am quoting that because while not bioengineered, no modern cultivate crop ios from from having been manipulated by human intervention at some point along the way, plants aren’t being grown, you don’t have seed for the next year.

No idea what would happen on a commercial level, but I keep hearing ads for Heirloom seeds & I bought some Heirloom tomatoeslast year. Yum.
you don’t have seed for the next year.
To understand the result, one only needs consider the
Terror Famine in Ukraine during the 1930s , the government
confiscated all the grain including that used as seed.
Millions of people starved.
How would Monsanto compensate for that??
