A FOOD CHAIN RADIO RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM
Four seed companies now control 75% of the seed marketplace, and two of them– Monsanto and DuPont– are at slugging each other out in court for more. The concentration of seeds in the hands of these giants leads us to ask…
Do the seed giants strengthen or weaken our food chain?
This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson’s Food Chain Radio hosts Steve Hixon from Steve’s Seed Conditioning in Claremont, Illinois, for a conversation about the politics of seeds.
Topics include how four companies came to control so much of the nation’s seeds; how those giant companies control the competition for seed dollars; and why the USDA is holding public hearings on this consolidation.
