From Corporate Watch magazine (UK) issue 10. Spring 2000: "Biotechnology multinationals are swollowing up seed companies, force-feeding us genetically modified food, pushing for patent on life and demanding liberal trade laws. Their legacy is the degraded soil and the endless monoculture of plants. To escape this mess we need to create methods of production and exchange which simply eliminate the need for corporations; and to ask for the food they can never produce. The answer to this is at the heart of the 'Primal Seeds' message: the seed is a revolutionary instrument. Visiting this website is equipping yourself with tools to make this a reality. From grafting edible varieties onto ornemental cherry trees in the park, to a passionate defence of 'weeds' and their medicinal properties, Primal Seeds gives us info and ideas so we can 'untangle ourselves from the monocult', and quietly undermine corporate power. This is an infromative, accessible and empowering website crafted with an obvious love and respect for the land"
