Introduction: Seeds are the cornerstone of agriculture and an important pillar of human civilization. However, in recent years, the "terminal technology" promoted by foreign seed companies is threatening the interests of farmers and the food security of the country. This so-called "extermination" technique, while packaged as a means of protecting intellectual property rights, essentially deprives farmers of their traditional right to preserve and reuse seeds, posing a huge challenge to global food security. Faced with this reality, both farmers and consumers need to work together to take effective measures to maintain seed diversity and ensure food security. Let's dive into the story behind this "war for jobs".

In recent years, foreign seed companies have promoted the "terminal technology", that is, sterilization seed technology, which has deprived the seeds of their ability to regenerate, and farmers have to buy seeds again every year, increasing the economic burden. Behind this kind of business method is a commercial conspiracy of profiteering and monopoly, which poses a real challenge to the traditional farming culture. The spread of sterilization is depriving farmers of the right to save and reuse seeds, which not only affects the economic benefits of individual farmers, but also poses a huge threat to global food security. Further our understanding of this technology will enable us to better address this challenge.

Sterilization seed technology, while ostensibly protecting intellectual property, actually turns seeds into a disposable commodity, leaving farmers with no autonomy in seed selection and purchase. More seriously, this technique can lead to the loss of seed diversity, which increases the risk of disease and pest attacks on crops. When crops are threatened, it not only puts farmers in economic hardship, but can also lead to food security problems on a national scale. Therefore, the spread of sterilization seed technology not only affects individual farmers, but also brings a potential crisis to the whole society.

* Plays a vital role in dealing with neutering seed technology. Strengthen regulation and legislation to ensure fair competition and quality safety in the seed market, and protect the interests of farmers and the country's food security. At the same time, we should also increase support for local seed research and development institutions, promote the research and development and promotion of local high-quality seeds, and reduce dependence on foreign seeds. Farmers themselves also need to be vigilant, choose local seeds that are truly suitable for the local growing environment, and actively participate in cooperative organizations to protect their rights and interests. As consumers and the public, we can also contribute to food security by purchasing safe and reliable agricultural products and supporting seeds that meet standards. Only by working together, farmers and consumers can we better combat the challenges posed by sterilization technology.

Conclusion: Food security is a matter of concern for the well-being of all. In this "battle for jobs", each of us is a key player. Only by working together to protect our seeds and food, protect the interests of farmers and the sustainable development of agriculture, can we meet the challenges of the future and ensure the country's food security. Let's join hands and work hard for this goal!

Summary: The spread of sterilization seed technology poses a serious threat to agriculture and food security, and requires the joint efforts of farmers, farmers and consumers to protect seed diversity and ensure food security. Only by strengthening regulatory legislation, supporting local seed research and development, raising farmers' awareness of self-protection, and consumers choosing safe products can we effectively combat this challenge and protect our "jobs".
