In a graphic illustration of consolidation in the seed industry through 2018, and how corporations control our seeds, Phil Howard tells the story of how farmers have been losing control of their seeds for quite some time (Howard 2020). From a narrowing of the genetic foundation of agriculture to the legal restrictions on the age-old practice of farmers saving their own seed and exchanging it with other farmers, the consolidation of the seed industry in the hands of 4 transnational corporations that Howard has documented is frightening.In a new post that expands this story, Howard shows how this consolidation continued to intensify just over the past 4 years, and not only involves seeds, but has now begun to capture data technology (Strömberg and Howard 2023). Between 2018 and 2022 the trend of global concentration and consolidation within agrochemical and seed companies has continued unhindered.
