Allan and the List: With all the techno-jargon, acronyms and doublespeak, this issue of seedstock contamination may seem a little abstract....but of course, it's very basic. As for what else we can do to take back our power from the greed-obsessed, it's very simple and we were doing it for thousands of years before this government and these corporations were ever thought of. WE NEED TO SAVE OUR OWN SEEDS, in the backyard garden, at the CSA, on the righteous homestead. If hundreds of thousands of gardeners and farmers keep their own foundation seedstocks, cherish and share them, we'll be OK while the dinosaurs play out their final act.
