Alan Kapuler: Man of Science, Ideas, and Humanity-2
by cookingupastory 2,449 views
Visit cookingupastory.com for more videos, and sustainable agriculture information. As the title for this series suggests, and what is shown in the video, Alan Kapuler is a well-educated man, both in a formal academic sense, and also from a lifetime of hands-on work as an organic plant breeder: planting, breeding, and cataloging his vast collection of open pollinated seeds (more about his seeds in the next video).
Kapuler describes himself as a "public domain" plant breeder, developing stabile varieties of open pollinated seeds that can be used, and further adapted by backyard gardeners, and urban farmers without any licensing restrictions, or the inability to re-use the same seeds for future harvests.

Alan Kapuler: Man of Science, Ideas, and Humanity
by cookingupastory 3,107 views
For more videos and information, visit: http://cookingupastory.com Dr. Alan Kapuler is a man who thinks on big time scales, and across wide geographic spheres of reality.
A molecular biologist by training, as a young adult, Kapuler experienced an almost spiritual connection from working with plants. Years later, he became a public domain organic plant breeder, and an impassioned advocate for the protection of the natural world. Kapuler believes, the interconnectedness of all living things—biodiversity itself, is the true seed of life. Widely regarded as the founding father of the organic seed movement, Kapuler's reverence of living things is embodied in his daily work—planting, breeding, and cataloging of seeds he has done for almost 40 years.

Seeds Of Life: Hybrids and the Emergence of Seed Monopolies
by cookingupastory 2,864 views
For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, visit http://cookingupastory.com Throughout much of agriculture, a remarkable span of 10,000 years, farmers were largely the stewards of the land and the crops that they grew. Seeds collected from one year's harvest were selected, stored, and used again for successive growing seasons. As Frank Morton, an organic seed breeder explains in this segment of the Seeds Of Life series, the role of the farmer at the center of agriculture began to change with the advent of hybrid seed development beginning with hybrid varieties of corn in the 1930′s.

Seeds of Life: Beta Vulgaris
by cookingupastory 1,883 views
For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, please visit http://cookingupastory.com Beta Vulgaris, the latin name for the beet species, includes the sugar beet, table beet, and swiss chard varieties. Although each variety is grown for different agricultural purposes, botanically, they are the same plant. Being open pollinated plants from the same species, and not hybrids, they are susceptible to cross-contamination from the pollen of other nearby Beta Vulgaris varieties.

Seeds of Life: David vs. Goliath
by cookingupastory 6,633 views
For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, please visit http://cookingupastory.com This interview took place Summer 2009 just prior to Judge White's September ruling in favor of Frank Morton, and the other plaintiffs. See related video on CUpS: Monsanto v. Geerston Seed Farms: The Supreme Court Alfalfa Decision
In an ongoing David versus Goliath legal battle, Frank Morton, an organic seed breeder in Philomath, Oregon, along with the plaintiffs listed in this lawsuit, have successfully sued the USDA and its Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), for failure to require an environmental impact statement (EIS) prior to deregulation of Monsanto's Roundup Ready sugar beet plant. In the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Judge Jeffrey S. White ruled on September 21, 2009 in favor of the plaintiffs— Center for Food Safety, Organic Seed Alliance, Sierra Club, and High Mowing Organic Seeds— requiring that APHIS prepare an environmental impact statement, and setting in place the remedy phase of the trial, scheduled to begin today (December 4) to decide the fate of next year's transgenic sugar beet crop.
