The African Terra Madre food communities are cultivating a dream:
to create 10,000 sustainable food gardens in schools, villages and cities across the continent.
A garden can guarantee good, clean and fair food for a community; be used to save the seeds of traditional varieties; stop homogenization, monocultures and the indiscriminate use of chemicals; and educate youth about food sovereignty. In Africa, a simple garden can point the way to a better future.

The Ankole is a rustic cattle breed raised for its meat and milk. Well-adapted to local conditions, the animals are able
to travel long distances in search of pasture and water. Still today they have a sacred role in the communities where they are raised, mainly in the Rift Valley along the border between Uganda and Rwanda.

Farmers are losing their most precious asset: seeds.
And they are losing the ancient knowledge which allowed them to select seeds and exchange them within their communities. Today, ten multi-national companies control 90% of the seed market.

The Presidium is the result of a collaboration between the Fundación Gran Chaco and the Cooperativa de Mujeres Artesanas del Gran Chaco (CO.M.AR.), and aims to combat the abandonment of the land, the impoverishment of the local diet and the resulting health problems.
CO.M.AR was founded in 2000 and is made up of eight associations, involving a total of around 1,600 women from the Wichi and Comle’ec ethnic groups. In the Argentinian Gran Chaco, the women traditionally take care of the house and the children.

The black crab (Gecarcinus ruricola) or "Black Crab" is a crustacean that lives in the tropical dry forest on the Colombian island of Providencia and nearby Santa Catalina. The Providencia black crab has a black shell, about 8 to 9 centimeters in size, and red legs with yellow veins. It has two large claws, which it uses to defend itself from enemies and to feed.

The licuri fruit has a layer of pulp-which birds are very greedy for-and a stone that, in turn, hides an intensely flavored almond reminiscent of coconut.
Also known by the names ouricuri, aricuri, nicuri, alicuri and coquinho-cabeçudo, it plays a key role in the local economy: for many families it is the sole source of income. It can be eaten unripe or ripe, fresh or roasted.

Fish is one of the foods that travels the furthest before it reaches our plates.
It is time to recover the traditional wisdom of fishing communities who have not moved far from ancient fishing practices, the diets of past generations and the known and unknown resources guarded by rivers, lakes and seas.

Agriculture accounts for 70 to 80% of water withdrawals. It takes 200 liters of water to produce a glass of milk, which provides 122 calories to the person drinking it.

In Ecuador many young people are leaving rural areas, drawn by the big city
or other countries entirely, and leaving communities of old people and children behind to farm.

Although the Torre Guaceto reserve is relatively small (it is about 1,200 hectares insisting on the municipal territories of Carovigno and a small part of Brindisi), it has an extraordinary variety of protected ecosystems. To safeguard the biodiversity of the protected area, a new project has also been initiated: the recovery of the local ecotype of tomato fiaschetto.
This sweet, juicy, preservable tomato is part of the gastronomic history of these lands: it was the base for the passata that all families, even urban ones, produced for the winter.

The flavor and quality of dairy products depends on many different factors, including the animal breed - whether sheep, cow, goat or other type of livestock - and the place they were raised,
as well as the farming methods used and the processing of the milk.

Over the centuries, with the help of farmers, local varieties of crops have adapted themselves
to the local climate and soil. They are hardier and require fewer inputs
(chemical fertilizers and pesticides). This makes them more environmentally and economically sustainable.

The kola nut’s name might recall the world’s most globalized beverage, but the two have little in common. The kola nut is the fruit of the kola tree, which belongs to the same family as cacao, Malvaceae. The tree is native to the tropical forests of West Africa, and still grows wild in Sierra Leone and Liberia. There are around 140 species of kola, but the most widely consumed in Africa are the wild Cola acuminata, also known as small or bitter kola, and the cultivated Cola nitida, known as big kola or kola nut. Cola acuminata is brown, while Cola nitida can be of different colors, ranging from yellow to pink to red when fresh and from brown to dark red when dried. The fruits contain caffeine, kolatin, theobromine and tannic acid.

Family farming can become a solid model of sustainable development. Despite their size, small farms make
a massive contribution to feeding the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. During the UN-declared International Year of Family Farming, IFAD and Slow Food have an opportunity to join forces
and promote discussion around policies that are supportive of agricultural systems based on family farmers, rural communities and indigenous peoples.

The Terra Madre network is made up of thousands of farmers, breeders, fishers, chefs, academics, students and consumers: men and women from around the world, united by a shared desire to protect their regions and ensure everyone has access to food that is good for our palate, the environment and those who produce it. In other words: good, clean and fair.

Indigenous peoples make up 5% of the world population and although they protect much of our natural wealth they account for 15% of those living in poverty.
