Growing Change in Negros Occidental:

Seed School 1 with PNIPFA

Farmers from the Pinowayan Nabingkalan Indigenous Peoples Farmers Association (PNIPFA) gathered for Seed School 1 and took a bold step away from chemical farming. Inspired to restore their soils and livelihoods, the community chose to establish a communal seed library, a shared resource for resilience and food sovereignty.
