Summary: Crops and seeds are everywhere. They nourish our bodies, families, and communities, but are also taken for granted. Simultaneously, an increasing number of community organisations, farmer movements, and individuals are challenging corporate control and commodification of seeds. In the name of seed and food sovereignty, they seek to enhance local control over agriculture and ensure peoples’ rights to nutritious, ecologically-sound and culturally-appropriate food. In this book, the authors bring together resource persons, students, and researchers working across the Eastern Himalayan region, and, in doing so, they hope to facilitate new ways of learning together. The Eastern Himalayas are commonly characterised as a biodiversity hotspot, and this also applies to agrobiodiversity. The authors hope that this book will inspire further engagements with the ongoing farming initiatives and food sovereignty movements on the ground. Also featuring, Seno Tsuhah, Manorom Gogoi, Amba Jamir, Bhogtoram Mawroh, Mahan Chandra Borah, and Vilazonuo Gloria. https://www.amazon.in/Seeds-Food-Sovereignty-Himalayan-Experiences/dp/8195302491/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2LPRAYAM3XNK5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-OtOPR8YtxG0IWTNOPfJzWb_AcV03YZdDHY8Lg05fqf8SzP7Cq1iyp3rOhZg5YCpZmn24V2CEPMM52MbnxJOauQ61zxA6rE6vjd_yhdTeAWaxx8W_QUnNL7pxnhaTxZ63g1O_e9lrl5HBOuCHQC-vPM35HNpBh_BTr3WMIC_VAQgYPnmJ-6ujcQpkpTRPuHpLgxAJPWrXXJdQgDUbfNv9K3hah_689leRLVqDJtY08w.GBAOSH42cnRRTfylHubdLKaAICtuXldKBct9yogx2WI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Seeds+and+Food+SovereigntY&qid=1719659107&s=books&sprefix=seeds+and+food+sovereignty%2Cstripbooks%2C194&sr=1-1
