A concise explanation of the importance of genetic diversity to
the world food supply. In third world countries indigenous
varieties of food crops are rapidly disappearing from genetically
rich areas, replaced by seeds produced by multinational chemical
companies, seeds now bred to be dependent on their agrichemicals.
The future of our food supply depends on our ability to conserve
genetic resources and redirect the goals of today's plantbreeding.
