Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @GMWatch Bizarre, the almost universal failure to notice, but hybrid varieties of food crops (the majority of for-profit cultivars) are engineered _by_design_ to lack the inherent capacity to co-evolve. Simply put, at a fundamental genomic level, such seed cannot adapt to climate chaos.Quoted by@GMWatch Bizarre, the almost universal failure to notice, but hybrid varieties of food crops (the majority of for-profit cultivars) are engineered _by_design_ to lack the inherent capacity to co-evolve.

I’d also bet the Big Ag plant-breeding complex, currently, structurally incapable of adapting to climate chaos. Whoops. Hybrid development. Didn’t see co-evolutionary epigenetics coming, did it? Context, it’s alive. Greetings from @AdaptiveSeeds territory.Quoted by@drvandanashiva ...and, where the disarray in our diets, democratic processes, religious practices and even our sense of personal and collective identity has concomitantly mirrored ‘the unhinging of seed’, co-evolution now reestablishes itself as the defining ontology shaping life and culture.
