@Englishomestead Thanks for the pointer, Kev. That's not even the half of it. The science, complicated, but we're now to the point where behind-the-scenes GMO creep into the hybridization process itself is functionally terminating our capacity to access means of survival not owned by Big Money.

@MadsMcKeever It gets worse. Almost completely unnoticed, the genetic lock-up integral to endemic use of GMO tech in CMS hybrid vegetable seed production is removing public access to plant characteristics at a biotic-existential as distinct from legal level. Andrew demystifies the facts, here.

3/ Synthetic hybridization was *already* a plant-breeding cul-de-sac, of course. What’s new is that non-licensed, non-identifiable, GMO biotech represents a novel bio-economic strategy for privately locking away a democratic, biotic capacity to adapt coherently to climate chaos.
