Seeds in Your Ears

Okay, not literally. But you know I can’t resist a story about seeds and seed sovereignty! So I was thrilled to come across this episode of the Wisconsin Public Radio show To the Best of Our Knowledge all about the topic. Listen for 4 stories exploring the question “Who owns seeds?”

The show’s description reads “It's easy to take seeds for granted, to assume that there will always be more corn or wheat or rice to plant. But as monocropping and agribusiness continue to dominate modern farming, are we losing genetic diversity, cultural history, and the nutritional value of our food? We speak to farmers, botanists and indigenous people about how they are reclaiming our seeds.”
