    In Seed: The Untold Story food commodification means bad news

Taking it for granted and wishing to control nature have been the markers of modern life.

They have a lifespan," says a farmer in a voice over. There is a deep connection between these farmers and their seeds, which they see as living things that start a movement, blossoming into life and then sustenance.
