These wild plants are under threat



In the afternoon I went for a walk and everywhere I saw the signs of autumn.

Including these seeds on bank, displaying all the incredible diversity of the natural world.

These wild plants are under threat from the incessant pressure to introduce GM agriculture into the county. This must never happen. Instead of making food supply more secure it would mean handing control of the countryside over to mega-corporations (and we know how short-term and incompetent they can be).

No seasonal variety, no wildlife, no landscapes worthy of the name. Endless monoculture and dependence on a few frankenstein crops. And Monsanto able to blackmail us any time they choose.
