Exactly! My new book, Food Isn't What It Used To Be, has more information about this. Stay tuned to the book launch soon!!
Seedless fruits are often marketed as a modern convenience, but they represent a slow, quiet erosion of human self-sufficiency and food sovereignty. For thousands of years, the act of saving seeds from a harvest was the most fundamental survival skill on Earth, passed down through generations to ensure the continuity of life and community resilience. By choosing the fleeting ease of seedless watermelons, grapes, etc., humanity unwittingly trades away its foundational connection to agriculture, transforming a vital life-sustaining resource into a disposable consumer product.
This shift becomes increasingly dangerous as major corporations aggressively patent agricultural genetics, reshaping the global food supply to maximize dependency. Today, powerful agribusiness engineering seed less varieties are effectively decoupling food production from natural reproduction. By creating crops that either contain no seeds at all or produce sterile, non-viable seeds, these corporations ensure that farmers and gardeners must buy new inventory every single season. This systematic patenting and sterilization of seeds stocks locks humanity into a corporate-controlled loop, quietly criminalizing or eliminating the ancient practice of seed-saving and threatening long-term food security.
There is no need to fear, but there is a desperate need to reclaim and preserve knowledge before its lost forever. Check out the comments section for step-by-step instructions on how to save seeds and how to ensure your seeds are viable (screen shot for later) β€οΈ
