Just heard the term "landrace" for the first time the other day. Did a little googling about it. Does one need to grow more than one variety of a plant for cross-pollination to get to the "survival of the fittest" or are environmental factors enough (although limiting)? I've only collected tomato seeds in the past as far as vegetables are concerned.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
