Seed Keepers

[kevin dudley <forthillbootstompers@hotmail.co.uk>]

Hi Lawrence!
I too was saddened by what has happened to Kent Whealy but this issue was bound to come up sooner or later as the multinational companies search for genes!
I have worked for the seed Savers in Ireland for over 10 years and the nub of it is that these resources  belong to the whole of mankind even the fools who wish to own it!
At the end of the day as long as they don't stop us from saving and working with our own seed they can and will get on with their own agendas.
I think after spending 6 months studying at the Centre for Agroecology and Sustainable food Systems at U.C.S.C the situation in the states is the same as here in Ireland.That whilst those at the top are dithering figureheads the real work is being done at grass root level. Inner-city gardens in the huge citys and all over our countries people and comunities are learning how to grow the soil,plants and seeds and this IS happening!
I dont want to belittle the great work that Kent has done for us all but we need to be possitive as negative anger reduces what it is we have todo and there is a lot to do!
Hope you have a fruitfull prosperous year..........Kevin D
