‘Open Source’ Seeds Loosen Big Ag’s Grip on Farmers

'Open Source' Seeds Loosen Big Ag's Grip on Farmers

A handful of companies own the patents on virtually every seed planted in the US. Now, a new crop of unowned seeds is bringing biodiversity

"Most people have heard of open source software, maybe also of open source beer (Free beer for all!) or open source pharmaceutical research. The principle is the same: Someone developed the seeds — for cowpeas, corn, rye and more — and now offers the resource for everybody to share. "

“Our region is buzzing with #blockchain-related #tech, including some of the largest mining and development operations in the world,” explained Zabrocki. One of the early local #innovators is #Dragonchain. Dragonchain was originally developed at Disney’s Seattle office between 2015 and 2016 under the name “Disney Private Blockchain Platform.” The project was #opensourced by #Disney in October 2016 and is now maintained by the Dragonchain #Foundation. “When we created Dragonchain, we wanted to build an easy-to-use hybrid blockchain platform that has all the benefits of immutable proof on the public blockchain in a flexible #business-focused package,” said Joe Roets, founder and #CEO of Dragonchain. “With Dragonchain, you retain complete control of your #data. #Sensitive business logic and #smartcontract functionality are kept proprietary.” Centricity is also collaborating with Dragonchain on Dragon Factor #identity service to provide users with GDPR-compliant #decentralized #authentication, permitting them to have autonomy over their data and control over who may access it. “This is especially important given the sensitivity of trade and compliance data in the food sector,” said Filip Hantson, vice president strategic business #development at Dragonchain.  “Third parties may set conditional criteria for blockchain-based outcomes. For example, only permitting #transactions over a certain threshold to be conducted by #verified customers.” https://www.instagram.com/crypto_dragon/p/BplFWLxAwur/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b4uey7bi5aui

A whole new field of homesteading: Open-sourced bug farms [video]

var jq = jQuery.noConflict(); function openPopup(url,width,height,delay,useajax,iframe,exitt) alert(url); authover.configure( iFrameAttribute : "name" : "autFrame", "id" : "authFrame", "src" : "http://wikipedia.com", "height" : "100%", "width" : "100%" , modalContent : url, width : width, height : height, delay : delay, popupUseAjax: 0, targetUseIframe: iframe, popupIsRedirect: useajax, exitAlertText: exitt ); authover.triggerModal(); return false;

Maybe you’ve already given up non-organic pesticides and have been contemplating a chicken or two in the backyard. Why not skip to the next level in the future of food production, then, by growing your own bugs?

The first of its kind, the Open Bug Farm provides all the resources you need to start raising your own protein down on your own tiny, creepy, crawly farm.

“The kit will be be suitable for education, research and commercial exploration. Our goal is to allow anyone to produce enough bugs to experiment with entomophagy, while developing technologies and practices to bring high volume production within reach.

And with the power of Open Source, the blueprints will be available for anyone in the world to use – and continually improved by our community of farmers.” – Open Bug Farm

Kits should be ready by the end of March, just in time to kick off the growing season in a whole new way.

Hey, we’ve seen what’s in a chicken nugget; can ground up bugs be any worse?
