RE: Thoughts on the Seed Revolution by Vandana Shiva - Bringing the Seed Back to the Farmer Part II

in #permaculture7 years ago

great that you share this important information .. for our long term gene pool variety.. which is also our long term security. Nature spent millions of years evolving so much variety into our fruit and vegetables so that they are less vulnerable to a wipe out from disease or climate change.. and yet we are quickly wiping out more and more of it as we homogenise our strains..

Luckily there are a lot of people holding and growing heirloom varieties and massive seed banks.. and people like you posting ;-)
