Agriculture and food production are among the most important and complex activities on earth. Issues such as hunger, rural poverty, biosafety, and climate change raise the stakes even higher.           Seed Stories was founded to help companies, trade associations and research organizations cut through this complexity and talk to people about the technologies, programs and businesses that make it all possible.           We focus on the things that are simple and concrete about agriculture – like seeds and people – as bridges to understanding what's abstract.           Ultimately, we believe that clear, honest and respectful communications can increase public support for the hard work that goes into making modern agriculture and food production successful, healthy, and good for the environment. Nowhere is this more important than in the developing countries of Asia and Africa, where three out of every four poor people live in rural areas, and most depend on agriculture to feed and support their families.                 Copyright © 2010 Seed Stories.
