IN 2007, Monsanto and DuPont (the latter I know as a chemical company, but it's apparently also a seed company--charming!) between them owned 48 percent of the world seed market. A truly dreadful thought.
We all just have to keep pushing back against attempts to steal the common heritage of the planet out from under us. Seed saving should never be illegal; sterile seeds are an abomination, and towns, cities, states, and nations should be able to outlaw genetically modified products if they want to.
