The Importance of Seed Saving

Seeds are the foundation of our food system. They contain the genetic material that determines the characteristics of a plant, from its size and shape to its color and flavor.

In the past, farmers saved their own seeds from year to year. This allowed them to adapt their crops to local conditions and to select for the traits that were most important to them.

However, with the advent of industrial agriculture, the practice of seed saving has declined. Today, most of the seeds that we eat are produced by a handful of large corporations.

This concentration of seed ownership has a number of negative consequences. First, it makes our food system more vulnerable to pests and diseases. If a single corporation controls the seed supply of a particular crop, then a disease that affects that crop could have a devastating impact on the entire food system.

Second, seed monopolies make it more difficult for farmers to save their own seeds. This is because the seeds that are sold by corporations are often treated with chemicals that prevent them from germinating.

Finally, seed monopolies limit the diversity of our food supply. When farmers are forced to buy their seeds from corporations, they are limited to the varieties that the corporations offer. This reduces the genetic diversity of our crops and makes them more susceptible to pests and diseases.
