Oct 169 likesThe future of food starts with a seed.But who gets to save those seeds, grow them, and pass them on to the next generation? It's a question at the heart of food sovereignty and who has a voice in shaping our food systems. This week, as we celebrate #WorldFoodDay and #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen we are recognizing the contributions of women who grow our food and preserve agricultural knowledge. On a day like this, it's fitting that DIG Kenya's Program Officer, @Electa Arua, spent the past two day with @ISFAA Kenya and @Seed Savers Network at the 5th Indigenous Seed, Culture & Food Harvest Fair where she joined a panel discussion exploring indigenous seeds, farmer's rights, seed governance, and the role of women and youth in building resilient food systems. Because the future of food is not just about what we grow, it is also about who gets to decide, we stand with the women farmers leading this way.Latest
