Symbols of renewal, seeds hold the promise of a greener future. But despite the powerful potential of seeds to adapt, modern seed saving often attempts to maintain varieties as they have always been—despite the challenges of ecological devastation and severe climate change. Seeking to explore agricultural diversity and promote resilience in food and farming, James Beard Award–winning author Chris Smith founded the Utopian Seed Project in 2018. In Saved by Seeds, Smith presents a passionate argument for seed diversity while presenting practical advice for everyone, from new gardeners to experienced farmers, to embrace the abundance of seeds.

“This is a book to be devoured. Gorgeous writing makes accessible the pleasures and pains of seed saving and plant breeding, as well as the sheer delight of growing food and exploring all the opportunities a curious grower can embrace. . . . With every page turn I learned something new and inspiring.”
—Adam Alexander, author of The Seed Detective and Accidental Seed Heroes
“Saved by Seeds will transform the reader into a gardener, the gardener into a seed saver, the seed saver into a plant breeder, and everyone into an advocate of radical botanical diversity.”
—Helen Anne Curry, author of Endangered Maize
