One grain = Ten thousand grains

For every seed the Earth receives, it returns thousands

Nature operates according the principles of "one grain, ten thousand grains"

For every seed, the Earth receives, it returns thousands.

Nature is forever productive, and infinitely diverse. In the practice of genetic engineering, ten thousand seeds are sacrificed for every one that comes to market, or "from ten-thousand grains, come one grain."

Originally, the heirloom seeds that sustained humanity over the centuries cost nothing; they were given freely by nature.

Each genetically engineered seed cost $ 300 million to bring to market.

We now face a choice between two opposite views of life, one natural, the other artificial.

The earth and happiness of all species, could well depend upon which of these two path we choose.
