Heirloom Seeds And Their Keepers
Marginality And Memory In The Conservation Of Biological Diversity
by Virginia D. Nazarea
As scientists grapple with the erosion of genetic diversity of crops and their wild relatives, old-timey farmers and gardeners continue to save, propagate, and pass on folk varieties and heirloom seeds. Nazarea focuses on the role of these seedsavers in the perpetuation of diversity. She examines the framework of scientific conservation and argues for the merits of everyday conservation, exploring roads not necessarily less traveled but certainly less recognized in the conservation of biodiversity.
