// Definition
Kevin Jodrey's metaphor for the naive assumption that original landrace genetics can always be re-sourced from their regions of origin. In reality, war, drug policy shifts, and monoculture have made many source regions permanently inaccessible.
// From the Episode
Jodrey: 'The world is this refrigerator filled with all this good stuff and all we need to do is go back to the source. But as you mature, you realize that the source might never be sourced again.' He cited regions where cannabis was replaced by cocaine or opium as the currency crop, or where militarization eliminated cultivation entirely.
