The village of Ndlovu in Hwange, Zimbabwe, celebrates harvests from indigenous seed varieties. Sharing knowledge between farmers and local community members creates opportunities for people to share seeds. Promoting abundance, generosity, and creative learning through regenerative and agroecological development. Thanks to the miraculous virtues of traditional grains, staple foods such as Pearl Millet and Sorghum have been saved by generations of growers for their climate resiliency and nutritional values over millennia. Cow peas and bambara nuts fix nitrogen, repel pests and weeds, retain moisture, and contain high protein levels. It is important to preserve traditional and community-led seed saving because it is our heritage, has a minimal cost, and brings people together. Traditional seed saving is essential to ensure food security because it can adapt to biotic changes as our climate changes. Now more than ever, we must empower farmers to save seeds.
Empowering farmers to save seeds is critical for all humankind. #Igugutrust #AFSA #seedandfoodsovereignty #
