Outraged as part of my study...
I've been looking at various social issues. Including just coming across the most frightening thing I've heard of in a long time: The Terminator Technology - built in bio genetically engineered sterility in seeds.
As Was:
varieties of rice in India: 200 000
varieties of apples in USA: 7000
varieties of potatoes in Andes: 3000
varieties of sweet potatoes in PNG: 5000
varieties of wheat in china: 10 000
What a world.
Between that, patenting seeds and the privatisation of water I'm thoroughly depressed.
