Seed Underground

A Growing Revolution to Save Food. The Seed Underground is a sort of manifesto on the practice and importance of seed saving. While the author mixes in chapters that discuss the assault on non-corporate, non-patent protected seed varieties and the dangers of industrial agriculture, most of the book is a collection of intriguing stories about those involved in the seed saving movement. By Janisse Ray. Paperback, 217 pages.
