摘要

There is a billion-dollar war going on in the seed industry, and most gardeners are blissfully unaware of it. At stake are thousands of varieties that gardeners treasure, and a basic question: Who owns Nature?" There are at least two major battles going on in this war. The top 10 seed companies now control about a third of the 23 billion dollar worldwide seed trade. The top three—Monsanto, DuPont and Novartis—control about 20 percent, or more. The first battle is for control of the market, and consolidation is the weapon of choice. Its effects are widespread. As these giant companies buy smaller companies, only top-selling plant varieties are retained. Often the first to get dumped from the catalogs are the open-pollinated and heirloom varieties,the old-fashioned and frequently best-tasting vegetables that nobody owns. Companies such as Monsanto want 100 percent ownership of what they sell. If they don't own and control it, it is likely to get dropped.
