Niklas Gustafson just dropped the clearest, most chilling explanation of how we lost control of our food.
This is what he shows, step by step:
- 1980: Corporations win the right to patent living seeds
- They slightly modify what nature already created → instantly own it forever
- Farmers who saved seed for 10,000 years are suddenly criminals if they replant their own harvest
- Today just 4 companies control >60% of all commercial seeds worldwide (some vegetable seeds: 95%+)
- Their seeds are designed to survive only their chemicals → you buy both, every single year
- Break the contract? They sue you. Plant something else? The crop dies anyway.
- Independent farmers turned into customers with no way out.
- Ancient seed diversity collapsing.
- Soil degrading at record speed.
- Food moving from fields to factories.
- Gustafson ends with the line that hits hardest: “This wasn’t about helping farmers. It was about replacing them.”
