Since 1990th Azerbaijan which in the past supplied tomatoes to the whole Soviet Union has been flooded with a wave of imported tomato varieties. Never mind that the tomatoes didn’t have a refined taste, the main criteria were beautiful appearance and transportability, so prized in the market. But my family had very different values. Life success in this family was not about profit, but about education and health. My family did everything to ensure that all three sons received higher education, but what is an education without health? And what kind of health can genetically modified foods provide? So I continued to plant the seeds of my great-grandmother’s tomatoes and invited the neighbors to follow the example.
