I started listening mid-conversation, but I caught a piece where this whistle blower guy was talking about "suicide seeds", which, apparently is the term used for GM seeds that allow you to grow a crop once, but the seeds of that crop are useless, or in another word -- dead. Which also means that if all the seeds planted are GM one-time-use seeds and if there's a total economic collapse making it impossible to pay for the patented seeds, then we have a serious global food shortage.
If you type "suicide seeds" into wikipedia, it redirects you to this article that goes into detail.

Were the bros directly referencing genetically modified seeds when they made "Semena Mertvykh"? Probably not, right? But, I thought it was, uh... food for thought. *rim shot*
