While it might seem like a crazy idea, it’s true that sometimes the best thing you can do for the preservation of heritage species is to eat them. Our sustained interest and consumer demand allows farmers and growers the ability to continue the cultivation of heritage breeds. If no one was eating these foods, farmers would have no reason to continue to grow and produce them because they wouldn't be able to sell them and make a living. To learn more about heritage breeds and how to conserve them, check out Slow Food's Ark of Taste (http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/programs/details/ark_of_taste/) which does a wonderful job of identifying many of our world's lost and forgotten food types that we need to preserve if we would like to continue seeing them in existence--both on the farm and on our plates.
