There’s only life, waiting for the right conditions-sun and water, warmth and soil-to be set free. Everyday, millions upon millions of seeds lift their two green wings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt no time in our history have Americans been more obsessed with food. Options including those for local, sustainable, and organic food-seem limitless. And yet, our food supply is profoundly at risk. Farmers and gardeners a century ago had five times the possibilities of what to plant than farmers and gardeners do today; we are losing untold numbers of plant varieties to genetically modified industrial monocultures. In her latest work of literary nonfiction, award-winning author and activist Janisse Ray argues that if we are to secure the future of food, we first must understand where it all begins: the seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Seed Underground\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a journey to the frontier of seed-saving.
