Description: 

Kenny Ausubel is the co-founder of an alternative Sante Fe based seed company, Seeds of Change. He outlines his company's approach to preserving biodiversity in our food supply, and how he offers backyard gardeners open-pollinated organic seeds to achieve that aim. Ausubel warns of the hazards of chemically-engineered hybrid food crops, urging gardeners to opt for varieties adapted to climate change and selected for high nutritional value. Today's bioneers, he concludes, understand that seeds must be grown, not "banked," if we are to maintain the fabric of the plant kingdom.|THE MIRACLE OF SEEDS : A CONVERSATION WITH KENNY AUSUBEL / produced by Barbara Dunlap. - SERIES: New signals - Kenny Ausubel is the co-founder of an alternative Sante Fe based seed company, Seeds of Change.
