Chris Smith: Saved by Seeds, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Saved by Seeds is as much a fervent love letter to seeds as an immensely useful how-to manual."---Dan Barber, chef and co-owner, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns; author of The Third Plate Seed saving might seem like a simple, old-fashioned custom, but seeds offer a radical pathway to resilient relationships between people, plants, and place.

Symbols of renewal, seeds hold the promise of a greener future. But despite the powerful potential of seeds to adapt, modern seed saving often attempts to maintain varieties as they have always been---despite the challenges of ecological devastation and severe climate change. Seeking to explore agricultural diversity and promote resilience in food and farming, James Beard Award--winning author Chris Smith founded the Utopian Seed Project in 2018. In Saved by Seeds , Smith presents a passionate argument for seed diversity while presenting practical advice for everyone, from new gardeners to experienced farmers, to embrace the abundance of seeds.

"This is a book to be devoured." ---Adam Alexander, author of The Seed Detective and Accidental Seed Heroes
