A Journey to Discover Agricultural Biodiversity
by Boscolo, MarcoTola, Elisabetta
From Senegal to Indonesia, from Iran to the United States of America, this is a great on-the-road account to get to know the farmers of today who are proving that an alternative to the model of the multinationals’ agribusiness does exist.
In the early 20th century, the Russian geneticist Nikolaj Vavilov
travelled halfway round the world and studied methods to produce
new varieties of plants which would yield more and be adapted to the
different climates in the Soviet Union. In a veritable on-the-road story
which goes back over some of the stages of Vavilov’s journey, Marco
Boscolo and Elisabetta Tola introduce us to the ‘guardians’ of
agricultural biodiversity who have learned his lesson: researchers,
farmers and new artisans who are innovating farming by recovering
local varieties and seeds that risk disappearing, replaced by industrial
products that are the same all over the world but not very adapted to
meeting the effects of climate change. There is no trace of nostalgia in
this journey, but a new idea of innovation fuelled by a global network
– Senegal, Ethiopia, Iran, Indonesia, France, United States and Italy –
which is offering models of production and different supply chains to
guarantee, following in Vavilov’s footsteps, that despite the climate
upheavals that we will have to face, nobody must suffer hunger.
