It feeds our minds as well as our bodies. It nurtures us emotionally as well as physically. It holds memories. In fact, one of the surprising consequences of globalization and urbanization is the expanding web of emotional attachments to farmland, to food growers, and to place. And there is growing affection, too, for home gardening and its "grow your own food" ethos. Without denying the gravity of the problems of feeding the earth's population while conserving its natural resources, Seeds of Resistance, Seeds of Hope reminds us that there are many positive movements and developments that demonstrate the power of opposition and optimism. This broad collection brings to the table a bag full of tools from anthropology, sociology, genetics, plant breeding, education, advocacy, and social activism. By design, multiple voices are included. They cross or straddle disciplinary, generational, national, and political borders. Contributors demonstrate the importance of cultural memory in the persistence of traditional or heirloom crops, as well as the agency exhibited by displaced and persecuted peoples in place-making and reconstructing nostalgic landscapes (including gardens from their homelands). Contributions explore local initiatives to save native and older seeds, the use of modern technologies to conserve heirloom plants, the bioconservation efforts of indigenous people, and how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been successfully combated. Together they explore the conservation of biodiversity at different scales, from different perspectives, and with different theoretical and methodological approaches. Collectively, they demonstrate that there is reason for hope"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAgrobiodiversity conservation$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aFood security$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aLocal foods$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aSeeds$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgrobiodiversity conservation 615 0$aFood security 615 0$aLocal foods 615 0$aSeeds 676 $a333.95/316 701 $aNazarea$b Virginia D$g(Virginia Dimasuay),$f1954-$0896158 701 $aRhoades$b Robert E$0880167 701 $aAndrews-Swann$b Jenna$f1980-$0896159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453750103321 996 $aSeeds of resistance, seeds of hope$92001861 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$90.00$u12/02/2019$5Bio
