Often the outsource it to places with cheap labour to grow fields of the crop and may have measures to control what pollinates them to produce the right variety. Many of the big global seed companies have been caught using child labour.

You can leave some crops to flower and seed to keep your own. If you are using hybrid seeds, then the seeds you get likely won’t match the parent.
