Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.
The question to decide
A buyer has inquired about seeds that several residents have grown together for a long time. Selling them could fund the garden's operating costs, but it would take new labor, and some residents took part to give seeds away for free. Should the cooperative sell the seeds it made together as a product, charge only cost, or keep sharing them for free?
