Relying on local resources isn\u2019t just about survival \u2014 it\u2019s about preserving the deep connection between people, nature, and the seasons. \ud83c\udf43\ud83e\udd66 Eating local food allows marginalized communities to access essential resources and fosters respect for the environment. \ud83c\udf31 Yet today, traditional food wisdom is being lost under the wave of industrialized food systems that disconnect people from nature. \ud83c\udfed\ud83d\udeab
Suntorn Komkai, President of the Khao Mai Kaew Organic Agriculture Network, shared his story of fighting to protect food sovereignty in Kabin Buri District, Prachinburi Province \u2014 standing tall as a small-scale farmer who defends the land and environment. \u270a\ud83c\udf3e
