Specially designed editions by leading contemporary artists include a diverse and international list of figures. The project is to embed cultural practice with vanguard aesthetics in sectors of the global economy with a mythic base and yet most at risk. In defiant opposition to monocultures and industrial cultivation, small farming is a necessary and compelling reservoir of biodiversity, and cultural practices that go back tens of millenia.

Artists skilled in the appropriation of language and meta-structure, understanding the nature of readymades, and the role of art today, are asked to describe such an agricultural project, in relation to art and its history, and to a product tended over the course of one year, from flower to fruit, and culled by hand.
