Set in Bhaktay Busty, a small farming village in Darjeeling, this reflective narrative follows a Abishek witnessing the slow erosion of memory, agro-biodiversity, and community resilience under social and environmental inequity. Rooted in the lives of the third-generation small scale farmers, the story confronts social vulnerability while holding onto hope - through traditional ecological knowledge, collective awareness and more inclusive, responsive support systems.
The Resilient Seed: Biotech and Traditional Knowledge in Nigeria's Climate-Conflict Zone
This story describes a local, youth-led project in North-Eastern Nigeria that addressed increasing drought and conflict. The project used simple biotech screening to grow climate-resilient sorghum. It secured international funding from FAO and Gates Ag One. This approach shows how blending traditional knowledge with science can offer a strong, nature-based solution for food sovereignty and peace, helping marginalized communities move into the mainstream of environmental efforts.
