That's not what I mean. Commercial agriculture is heavily dependent on, and influenced by, companies that zealously guard what they see as their intellectual property. When I say "open agriculture," I'm referring to protecting free experimentation and open seed culture.

More likely we'll move away from seeds towards sharing clones of rooted cuttings. Much more predictable. Open cutting exchange is a good idea actually. Trace genetics.

  I doubt it as that opens up the possibility of one disease wiping out the whole population ala the old breed of Bananas that candies are based on which went extinct in the 70s IIRC.
