Hi, I’m Humphrey!
I’m Humphrey Malone, a passionate advocate for sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and the traditions that connect us to our environment. As a self-taught horticulturist and agricultural historian, I embarked on a journey to discover the techniques and traditions that were once the backbone of self-sufficient communities around the world.
Coming from a lineage of indigenous farmers, I have personally witnessed the diminishing practices of seed saving within my own community. My intimate connection with the land and its stories has fueled my dedication to preserving knowledge that is on the brink of being lost.
Throughout my career, I have traveled extensively, learning from indigenous tribes, rural farmers, and experts in the field of agriculture. My expeditions have granted me a deep understanding of the intricate seed-saving systems, including advanced pollination patterns, seed rotation strategies, and long-lasting storage methods that were once common in communities worldwide.
Recognizing the challenges posed by modern laws related to intellectual property rights and seed patenting, I made it my mission to ensure that ancient and invaluable agricultural wisdom is accessible to all. By promoting the concept of Seed Sovereignty, I believe in empowering farmers and communities to reclaim their rights over their seeds and heritage.
“The Seed Saving Bible” is a testament to my dedication to preserving, educating, and advocating for the integral relationship between humans and the seeds that nourish them. Through my writings and teachings, I aim to bridge the gap between ancient practices and contemporary needs, ensuring that the legacy of seed saving is passed down to generations to come.
