Resistance to Agricultural Homogenization
The diversity of native seeds is the heritage of the Maya and indigenous people at the service of all of humanity. The Maya indigenous peoples have stood firm defending these seeds, which have fed us for more than five thousand years. It saddens us to remember the loss of respect for our seeds, due to the imposition of the Green Revolution. The “revolution” actually sterilized and contaminated our seeds, as well as nature and Mother Earth.

A
Adoption of industrial farming techniques
B
Resistance against agricultural homogenization

Shift towards monoculture crop production
