A rebel grandmother faces losing her livelihood after smuggling maple syrup in Canada, a Vermont gardener stocks fridges full of seeds, an artist plants vegetables on the streets of Los Angeles, and a widow in India blames ‘foreign seeds’ for a string of suicides.

Just six companies sell almost two-thirds of the world's seeds, and potential takeovers raise the possibility that number could shrink to three.

We are joined by experts from both sides of the debate as we listen to stories of subversion.
