*SEED* features Will Bonsall as well as many other colorful seed keepers
who are passionately renewing a seed culture around the world. As Rowen
White says, "seeds are tiny time capsules of life’s rich and layered
stories. It is a precious common heritage and is an essential component to
the future sustainability our food. There is an urgent need to protect seed
sovereignty; the corporations who dominate the seed industry are not
working for the common people.”
As many irreplaceable seeds near extinction, *SEED* reveals the harrowing
and heartening story of passionate seed keepers as they wage a David and
Goliath battle against chemical seed companies, defending a 12,000 year

*Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening*
Innovative Techniques for Growing Vegetables, Grains, and Perennial Food
Crops with Minimal Fossil Fuel and Animal Inputs
"Society does not generally expect its farmers to be visionaries." Perhaps
not, but longtime Maine farmer and homesteader Will Bonsall does possess a
unique clarity of vision that extends all the way from the finer points of
soil fertility and seed saving to exploring how we can transform
civilization and make our world a better, more resilient place.
In Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening,
Bonsall imparts a wealth of knowledge drawn from his more than forty years
of farming experience.
For him the solution is, first and foremost, greater self-reliance,
especially in the areas of food and energy. "My goal," he writes, "is not
to feed the world, but to feed myself and let others feed themselves. If we
all did that, it might be a good beginning.
