Saving More Than Seeds (eBook, PDF)

Practices and Politics of Seed Saving

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Saving More Than Seeds advances understandings of seed-people relations, with particular focus on seed saving. The practice of reusing and exchanging seeds provides a foundation for food production and allows humans and seed to adapt together in dynamic socionatural conditions. Combining original ethnographic research with investigation of an evolving corporate seed order, this book reveals seed saving not only as it occurs in fields and gardens but also as it associates with genebanking, genetic engineering, intellectual property rights, and agrifood regulations.
