In 1 8 4 5 , a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper

potato plants. In another place or time, the death of a single crop species might not

have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1 8 4 5 , people depended almost solely on the

potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine. Now, some

scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again - but on a much wider

scale.

Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of

food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold

_climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won't find many

of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on the

Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species

of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers. Meanwhile, thousands of other

species are becoming extinct.

For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice;

now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown

just a century ago have disappeared. Experts believe that over the past century, we

have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear.

One solution to this problem is to collect and preserve the seeds of as many

different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested

by Russian scientist Niko lay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1 9 3 0 s , he collected around

400,000 seeds from five continents. More recently, others are continuing the work he

began.

2
 In the U . S . state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to preserve historic plant

varieties, like the seeds her great-grandfather brought to the U.S from Germany more

than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm,

where people can store and trade seeds.

More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds; they

plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that

haven't been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of

appearance or flavour, but they are also offering farmers food solution for the future,

from the past.

Question 4: Which statement would Diane Ott Whealy probably agree with?

A. It's important to store seeds, but you must also plant them.

B. American seeds are better than German seeds.

C. Foods grown from older seeds are better, but taste bad.
