Entire generations of traditional foods, along with the knowledge needed to grow, harvest, and prepare them, are disappearing at an alarming pace.This decline is about more than shrinking food choices; it endangers biodiversity, undermines food security, and unsettles the delicate connections among seeds, soil, and climate that have supported human communities for generations. For Indigenous peoples, seeds are not merely crops or commodities. They are living relatives that carry language, ceremony, memory, and ancestral duty: responsibilities that have long been upheld and protected by women across generations.
