Saving More Than Seeds advances understandings of seed-people
relations, with particular focus on seed saving. The practice of
reusing and exchanging seeds provides foundation for food
production and allows humans and seed to adapt together in dynamic
socionatural conditions. But the practice and its practitioners are
easily taken for granted, even as they are threatened by
neoliberalisation. 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. Drawing on
diverse social sciences literatures, Phillips illustrates ongoing
practices of thinking, feeling, and acting with seeds, raising
questions about what seed-people relations should accomplish and
how different ways of relating might be pursued to change
collective futures.
