The story of seeds : from Mendel's garden to your plate, and how there's more of less to eat around the world / Nancy F. Castaldo.
"With the growth of genetically modified foods, the use of many seeds is dwindling--of 80,000 edible plants, only about 150 are being cultivated. With a global cast of men and women, scientists and laypeople, and photographic documentation, Nancy Castaldo chronicles where our food comes from, and more importantly, where it is going as she digs deeper into the importance of seeds in our world."--Amazon.com.
