e/Seed saving

Information
has gloss	eng: In agriculture and gardening, seed saving is the practice of saving seeds or other reproductive material (e.g. tubers) from open-pollinated vegetables, grain, herbs, and flowers for use from year to year for annuals and nuts, tree fruits, and berries for perennials and trees. This is the traditional way farms and gardens were maintained. In recent decades, there has been a major shift to purchasing seed annually from commercial seed suppliers, and to hybridized or cloned plants that do not produce seed that remains "true to type"-retaining the parent's characteristics- from seed. Much of the grassroots seed-saving activity today is the work of home gardeners. However, it is gaining popularity among organic farmers, permaculturists and enthusiasts with cultural or environmentalist interests.

Meaning
Italian
has gloss	ita: In agricoltura e giardinaggio, il termine inglese seed saving indica la pratica di conservare semi di fiori e vegetali. La conservazione delle sementi era in passato una tradizione agricola finalizzata al mantenimento di fattorie e giardini; oggi invece le sementi vengono acquistate a seconda delle necessità e producono piante ibridizzate, quindi l'attività di conservazione delle sementi è svolta solo da appassionati di giardinaggio o finalizzata a interessi ambientalistici. Chi pratica il seed saving è chiamato seed saver, letteralmente "conservatore di semi", cercatore e conservatore informale di vecchie varietà locali o di agrobiodiversità non autoctone soggette a fenomeni di erosione genetica, affinché non si estinguano.
