Re: European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch (4.00 / 3)

There's been a shortage of seed, not to mention security, these past years. And farmers are looking to the government for help.

A handful of seasons of gm wheat cultivation would suffice to irreperably pollute an 8000 year patrimony of wheat species.
