The Eriskay Connection is an independent publishing house focusing on photography, art and visual culture.

Jos Jansen's book examines how innovative food crops are developed and how this process bears upon the world food problem. Seeds on the Origin of Food Crops is about Darwin’s natural selection and how it has long been overtaken by high-tech plant breeding. It focuses on the aspect of how new food crops that are resistant to pests and diseases are bred, and therefore contribute significantly to our future food supply.
