RE: EU seed laws
The point of this to me is not just heritage seeds but all seeds will need a licence which mean you can say goodbye to the days of cheap seed packets in shops and supermarkets.
It will squeeze the small to medium sized seed producers out of business and then it will all be controlled by the big boys who im sure are working hand in hand with the supermarkets/money men. (If they dont have there fingers in the comercial seed companies already)

Let be honest the big supermarkets dont want to sell you seeds to grow your own food, They want to sell you the fruit and veg at stupidly high prices.
So if they can limit what seeds are for sale and how much they cost they will have a massive amount of control.
Both in the domestic market and for farmers who wont be able to plant seeds they produced the year before, The offspring of those seeds are owned by the licence holder and not the farmer.
Farmer have already been taken to court in the USA for having crops planted next to GM crops owned by other farmers, these crops are pollinated by the wind but now have the GM genetics inside those seeds which is classed as theft. Farmers have lost everything over there.

Its not in there interest to help home food production, they have done everything in there power to get the total strangle hold over all the small shops,
They were buying up all building land near there shop to stop any competition from other shops. Tesco got banned by the UK government for buying up to much commercial land.
When that happened they started buying up small shops and opened up chains of Tesco Extra and One Stop.
The was just another way to get the strangle hold on the market share.
Tesco tried to do the same in the USA and pulled out when people refused to buy from them, (They lost 4 billion before they pulled out)
SORRY moan over. Rolleyes

What im trying to say is they are trying everything to control the market and the people.
I cant remember how much they made last year??? But that was after reinvesting a lot of there profit into rebuilding old stores and opening hundreds of small shop up and down the country.
