Description/notes

EarthLore works with rural communities to accompany them on a journey to revive their traditional ecological knowledge and practices, seed diversity and farming and governance systems, essential for navigating climate change and defending their land against growing threats from mining and industrial exploitation.

For example, within their attempts to increase seed knowledge they work with elders to enable communities to re-establish their traditional seed diversity, regain sovereignty over their cultural food system, and restore the integrity of their relationship with their land.
