       "In efforts to provide more nutritious foods, generate a greater variety of crops, and establish their role in agriculture, women are creating a more sustainable food system. These agricultural practices not only demonstrate how sustainable procedures help the economy and provide food for communities; they also contribute to the fight against climate change. The common customs found in communities in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala have proven eye-opening."https://hir.harvard.edu/resilient-roots-indigenous-agriculture-and-climate-change-in-latin-america/

       Indigenous female food wisdom from the Americas gave us potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, maize corn, peppers, beans, squash, avocado, chocolate, and so much more. These Indigenous women have achieved 1,000 times more for quality, truly sustainable food than all the Western food scientists put together.Do they get credit for this? Of course not. It’s a white man’s world.

       @gerrymcgovern We need to get ready, too, in Europe and elsewhere. More relilient ways of growing food: mixed seasonal grains with perma cultures to manage droughts or strong rains and prevent erosions. Manage water.Mixed harvests planted in rows for easy harvesting with machines. Lighter, smaller machines to prevent too much pressure on good soil.

       @energisch_ Exactly, a brilliant list of things we need to do. And learn old skills connected with working on the land and making things we need, and pass those skills on.

       @gerrymcgovern seasonal & permaculture mix is an old system, way older than our pestizide and artificial fertilizer growing of mono cultures 😸
