@MadsMcKeever @Irish_Cookbooks @Lillis25 A universal language, innit? Also, easier to explain the arcane specifics of open-pollinated/hybrid seed to computer programmers, than any other constituency, I find - simply replacing the word 'software' with 'seed'. The open-source protocol is a precise, trans-realm archetype.

@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.
