  1. "Driscoll’s today is less a #farming business than a #research and #marketing enterprise, harvesting #berry-related data instead of #berries. Instead of owning land, the company owns the #genetic material of its berries and the knowledge of how best to plant, pick and transport them.

    “A former senior compliance manager sued the company, alleging that #Driscoll’s penalized him for flagging excess use of #pesticides, and that the company had knowingly shipped berries to #Canada that exceeded that country’s more stringent limits.

    “Quest for the perfect berry plays out night and day at the company’s headquarters, a patchwork of fields, farmhouses, spectrometer labs, tasting rooms and worm beds dotting the #PajaroValley.

    "Driscoll’s model reflects another shift in 21st-century #agriculture, away from #OpenSource knowledge developed by public institutions like universities, to fiercely protected #IntellectualProperty owned by private companies.”

  14. @JorisBohnsonPM I expect Drakeford will soon find that popularity and effectiveness are not required by #labour -only obedience and silence

    He will probably suffer the same fate as #Driscoll when the opportunity arises and found to be unsuitable by the London Apparatchiks
