Agriculture Sustainability and Seeds - "The Gift," A 3-Minute Film by Jean-Marc Abela

This blog is about a short film made about Dan Jason, a seed farmer on the West Coast of Canada, because for 25 years he’s been sharing an important message with the world: We have lost 93% of the seed variety in the last 100 years. Having varieties in our food crops offer our bodies the various nutrients they need. Using wheat as just one example, we’ve been eating an industrialized wheat that has been modified for maximum production, not for maximum health benefits and we can now see the results in our health. But Dan grows about 20 different varieties of wheat, many of them with low gluten levels and others more resistant do pest and droughts.
