Thanks for the mention and links.

When it comes to seeds, my biggest concern is not global warming. It’s seed companies that genetically engineer seeds that do not produce viable seed plants and are cannibalistic, for lack of a better term.

These genetically engineered seeds grow to be large plants, whose seeds are not viable, that are then cross-pollinated with plants that are not genetically engineered, but then take on the characteristics of the engineered seed plants.

Then the seed manufacturers try to claim their proprietary seeds have been ripped off. Not true.

What we could wind up with eventually is a devastated food crop that can’t reproduce. Then what happens when something cataclysmic does happen, and our food is gone?

Seeds that produce plants that are not fertile, should be banned.

This is why I believe that grassroots efforts at seed saving, especially of heirlooms, is very important.
