“A crisis is looming: To feed our growing population,
we’ll need to double food production. Yet crop yields
aren’t increasing fast enough, and climate change and
new diseases threaten the limited varieties we’ve come
to depend on for food. Luckily we still have the seeds
and breeds ensure our future food supply - but we must
take steps to save them.”
- Charles Siebert, National Geographic
