" Societies and economies can be destroyed by bombs. Societies can also be destroyed by locking every aspect of life like provision of food and water through an economic war.”

"Dupont, Monsanto, Syngenta, and Groupe Limagrain control 75 percent of the seed marketplace. Currently, Monsanto and Dupont are going head to head for a bigger piece of the seed profit pie.
So what exactly does such dominance mean for our nation's food chain?
With four massive corporations controlling the marketplace, it undoubtedly will have repercussions for the food industry.
Farmers are essentially giving up the wheel to corporate entities that research, develop, and mass produce seeds.
Tracts of land planted with commercial seeds are pushing out local crop varieties and erasing the knowledge gained from 10,000 years of farming."
