520    Saving seeds to plant for next year's crop has been key to
       survival around the globe for millennia. However, the 
       twentieth century witnessed a grand takeover of seed 
       producers by multinational companies aiming to select 
       varieties ideal for mechanical harvest, long-distance 
       transportation, and long shelf life. With the rise of the 
       Slow Food and farm-to-table movements in recent years, the
       farmers and home gardeners who have been quietly 
       persisting in the age-old habit of conserving heirloom 
       plants are finally receiving credit for their vital role 
       in preserving both good taste and the world's rich food 
       heritage. Kentucky Heirloom Seeds: Growing, Eating, Saving
       is an evocative exploration of the seed saver's art and 
       the practice of sustainable agriculture. Bill Best and 
       Dobree Adams begin by tracing the roots of the tradition 
       in the state to a 700-year-old Native American farming 
       village in north central Kentucky. Best shares tips for 
       planting and growing beans and describes his family's 
       favorite varieties for the table. Featuring interviews 
       with many people who have worked to preserve heirloom 
       varieties, this book vividly documents the social 
       relevance of the rituals of sowing, cultivating, eating, 
       saving, and sharing.
