Access to seeds will determine your social class in the future

I am writing today's newsletter edition as a guest writer. My name is Fani, and I live in the Northern Colony Alliance in the year 2550 in a region known in your time as Sweden.
If you're having a moment because of my name, know that English is not the lingua franca of the 26th century. Additionally, you can go ahead and google how to pronounce Fani, a Swedish name, correctly.
Indeed, I know about Google and the Tech Moguls of your time. Guess what? They're growing seeds in 2550 and running a 'benevolent dictatorship' called The Cooperatives.
They took over after the Data War—in which they almost wiped out humanity by fighting against each other for supremacy—and vowed never to put the planet at risk again. Just like the US conservative and democrat parties did in 2150 after sinking the wealthiest country on Earth with their bickering and lust for power.
I might be a farmer, but I know stuff.
(For the record, the USA never recovers—except for the northern regions, which the Canadian Colonies Alliance will annex anyway.)
So now you're all recapped.
Before I continue: Mr. Schapiro, if you're reading this, your book 'Seeds Of Resistance: The Fight To Save Our Food Supply' is still around in 2550. It's one of the cult books. Thank you for fighting for us. We wish you—and all the good people you mention in the book—had succeeded in your efforts to safeguard the future of food on this planet. But there's something to be said about trying.
You have my gratitude <(_ _*)>.
Seeds Of Resistance ✊
We're hungry and hot.
