For human nutrition, only 150 major species are cultivated and, among these, just a few of them account for 90% of the food produced. By 2050, an estimated 40,000 species will have disappeared, compared to the variety available at the dawn of agriculture in the beginning of human history. Basically, this is a disaster of epic proportions. Fortunately, many seedsavers are working worldwide to conserve seeds that would otherwise be lost forever.
