I have been talking about saving seeds and spreading the word for more than 20 years now and how companies are determined to keep your seeds illegal eventually. Four seed companies now control more than 60 percent of the global market, and a seed policy expert argues that consolidation poses significant risks to our food supply.

"There seems to be a concerted effort to blame global warming and climate change on different causes. What is missing from the conversation is this; the reasons are all interconnected."

"There are many edible, delicious things around us to eat if we would take the time to learn what they are and learn to harvest them."

"Sustainable is a great word to use, and the meaning carries good intentions, but it is a word misused and misunderstood far too often."

"The more positive things we can teach children about the earth we live on and how to care for that earth, the greater the chance of survival for all of us. The hope is those children will take those teachings and make a better world than what they were left."

"Peppers. Some people can't get enough heat from the various hot peppers, and others cannot withstand even the mildest hot pepper. There are many varieties of peppers to satisfy every pallet."

The problem is this; there is too much red tape in policies to end child hunger. The solution is simple. Feed the children!"

"No matter the choice, cucumbers are always a refreshing treat with any meal."
