Abstract:

Over the past two decades ETC Group (formerly RAFI) has monitored corporate power and trends in the “life sciences.” This communiqué looks at the seed industry reporting that the top 10 companies control half of the world's commercial seed sales. It also highlights a new US Department of Agriculture Study concluding that the concentration in the seed industry is resulting in less innovation, not more.
