Seeds? someone say wha?

Another one of those subjects dear to my heart.... I can hear your comments now. Either, "Oh heavens Anna, you're such a granola bar" or "Where do you get such random interests"
The use of hybrid seeds and the eradication of native, disease and drought resistant seeds is sheer disaster. The old USSR was a major global seed bank before its fall. At that time funding for the freezers and storage obviously fell by the wayside. Overly dramatic to call it the "doomsday" seed vault? I think not. We take the production of food at face value. Never realizing the downfalls of the over producing, resource draining, extremely fragile existence of hybrid seeds. Plusses of Hybrid seeds- *Mass produced wheat, corn, and rice at a high rate of production and growth. Serves the world over. Minuses-
*Parches the earth of its natural minerals leaving it parched and useless. Therefore a high use of chemical fertilizers are needed just to produce anything. Contaminating water sources, oceans, and very likely the reason for the rising rate of extinction of many species of frogs, honey bees, and many birds. The fertilizers being pumped into our ocean are the main source of red tide, and highly productive algae that sufficates anything in its path. Killing mass areas of the ocean.
*Heavy use of water resources. These seeds require a massive amount of water. So much that most regions that produce them have to have water imported. Resulting in higher levels of water shortages everywhere.
* Producing these massive amounts of fast growing grains is not necessary to provide for the earth. Why do you think farmers are subsidized by our government not to farm? Would it not be better to grow what the earth can provide without harm? To enable nations in need with resources to help small family farms produce what they need?
*The biggest concern for me is the seeds themselves. Native seeds have been sorted by time and trial. The strongest surviving is more that true in this case. Drought resistant, disease resistant, plaugue sturdy. Genetically engineered seeds do not have this in any form. So in the event of any form of disaster, you would at the least need a stock of these seeds to back up the overwhelming loss of crops. If the seeds disappear, i.e. are never grown, or saved you have a world wide epidemic. It is that severe of an issue. With the loss of the banks in the USSR, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Phillipines. The United States virtually ignoring the issue, as usual, I am very happy to see the below article. I would not call Norway a nation of chicken littles. Maybe its time we started making our own reserves.
