Seed represents only about 2% of farming costs but is the most crucial element because if you don't have good genetic material, you have no food - so said one delegate to the World Seed Conference. If you control the seed, you control the food chain, said another. These are just two of the views put forward by seed merchants, seed scientists, plant-breeders and farmers from more than 50 countries.
