The most well developed story of the ethical, political, & economic effects of indivualized seed saving efforts. However, Phillips fails to acknowledge the spiritual and economic importance of seed saving to Indigenous and other communities of color... which is essential in this discussion. Good for a Canadian history lesson on seed patenting.
