Artículo sobre la serie de liderazgo BIPOC de WNC EarthMates

Celebramos a las cofundadoras Cleaster Cotton (conservacionista cultural, inventora de los códigos ALNUGE, educadora, agricultora, autora y artista) y Cynde Allen (herborista, agricultora, educadora y artista). Su trabajo se enfoca en revitalizar la interdependencia comunitaria y es un llamado conmovedor a recuperar las prácticas indígenas y recordar las tradiciones culturales dentro de los sistemas alimentarios a través del arte y la agricultura.
