Guardians of the Seed:

Chizami's Living Archive

In the misty hills of Phek District, Nagaland, the
women of Chizami village are quietly safeguarding
something irreplaceable — their ancestors' seeds.

The Chizami Women's Society runs a Community
Seed Bank that today holds over 200 traditional
varieties, built on a simple but powerful conviction:
that no community should ever have to buy back
what it once grew freely.
