"Our desire to preserve is strongly linked to a narrative of loss, both for #biodiversity writ large and for rare heirloom #seeds. But we recognize the need for biodiversity and destroy it in the same breath. What if we protected the Amazon instead of just the genetics within it? What if we supported small-scale diversified agriculture instead of industrialized monoculture?"
