if you want to plant any kind of vegetable, you don`t have very many options because there are no more seeds.
the Andeans countries have lost the sovereignity.
Now the fundamental tool for the right to decide what do you like to plant or what do you like to eat is in the hands of big agro corporations.
it is impossible to find natural seeds in these countries, just seeds that come from industry.
maybe you don´t use agrochemical products in your little farm and you buy vegetables in organic markets. but the origin of live is not natural any more.
seeds are trapped far away from nature - mother earth.
more than 95% of seeds come from industry.
solidarity or common cause is no longer the power of sharing seeds between peasants.
Now, the market is the power.
it is so sad to find out that life is just buying and selling.
we need to improve our efforts to work with peasants and indigenous people to recover our seeds. because their seeds are our seeds - and they are the seeds of everyone on the earth.
natural seeds are a natural right, a human right. and they must be in the hands of the people that plant, and take care of the seeds.
not in the hands of the market.
what are you eating today?

Seria interesante saber por ejemplo que comunidades en Ecuador todavía usan sus propias semillas, cuantas intercambian y cuales ya solo utilizan las semillas que se venden en el mercado, incluyendo la de las multinacionales (en porcentaje). También ayudarían incluir cualquier vinculo Internet de estudios, investigaciones o estadísticas sobre semillas nativas. Por ultimo creo ayudaría publicar dos o tres comentarios que tienen las multinacionales sobre semillas y responderles con un análisis alternativo.
It would be helpful to know which communities in Ecuador still use seeds, exchange seeds and buy seeds, including those from multinationals (as a percentage). Also to publish any Internet links with studies, research or statistics about native seeds. Lastly, it would help to publish two or three statements from the multinational about seeds and to respond to them with an alternative analysis.
