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.
