Both involve a protagonist who goes to a school to specialize in something they initially did not have an interest in but get invested in, working hard to learn and appreciate their peers in the same field. Both give insight into the struggles met by people who choose to work in that field and the satisfaction of hard fought triumph through time, passion, and effort 

Both protagonists are smart school students who find no joy in life and have no passion to pursue. They both also find their goal and a reason to be live their life to their fullest. The big difference consists on their goal, setting and maturity, as gin no saji is more child friendly and has more humor simmilar to shonen series. 

The MC goes against everyone's expectations with signing up for a surprising feild of study. For blue period, its for art and for silver spoon, its for agriculture. Both MC's face the challenges that comeswith the new fields of study and they are thrown headfirst into completely new worlds. These are also pretty educational. I learned a lot when it comes to how farms operate and what goes in to art when people are painting or drawing. 

Both are about an agricultural School and well... I guess the best thing to do is read it to see it. 

Both are about an agricultural school, have similar kind of humor and similar in generic themes, though heroes are different 

If you're looking for slice-of-life mangas with a slight spin, then maybe Uchuu Kyoudai is the manga for you! Uchuu Kyoudai is about a man in his mid 30s, who suddenly finds himself out of job and decides to pursue his childhood dream to become an astronaut, chasing after his younger brother, who is already an astronaut preparing to go into space. I get this same warm fuzzy feeling after reading both mangas and I appreciated that both mangas have characters who are working towards (finding) a dream yet still have doubts of their own. Humourous and realistic, the storyline of Uchuu Kyoudai moves forward with little drag and cliche, qualities that I too, find worthy in Silver Spoon. read more 

The main characters differ quite a bit, but both enter schools that specialize in one area. Both manga go into great detail about their respective subjects. Souma has more conflict and a shounen feel compared to Silver Spoon's slice of life style, but both a diverse cast of characters.
