Combine this interview with the book "Wheat Belly" which documents the
change of the protein in wheat under Borlag's Green Revolution and
hybridization of wheat with the concurrent outbreak of celiac desease around
the world and you get the full picture! This wheat hybridization did more
than get rid of the tall stalk and increased production it changed the
genetic material in the process.

On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."

Dear All
We have posted today, to bring to renewed attention, a classic and 
fascinating interview with organic seed breeder Dr John Navazio. The 
interview covers the deep philosphy, the politics and the practicalities 
of breeding for organic farming settings vs breeding for uniform and 
industrialised chemical-intensive monocultures. It delves into questions 
such as how much are modern focussed approaches weakening the genetic 
base of crop species. You may wish to tweet this, etc.
