Never Out of Season by Rob Dunn

Book review: Never Out of Season by Rob Dunn Maybe unnatural history is more accurate. The author outlines how currently in wealthy countries there are no seasonal foods as you can buy any food year round. He also shows how the trend to breed and grow only a select number of crops is depleting the planets resources, and not leaving much room to get back from a catastrophe. When one time of grain is grown, if a pest arises that attached that particular strain the results can be quickly devastating. He provides extensive information on the history of seed banks and their purpose and uses.
