Kahea Pacheco and Melinda Kramer of the Women’s Earth Alliance reflect on the importance of women’s environmental leadership, and share the story of Sunita Rao, an Indian seed saver, farmer and founder of Vanastree, a seed saving collective of women farmers. Her organization, Malnad Mela, is taking many vital actions to lead the way, including a festival for women farmers to come together and exchange experiences and traditional knowledge to improve Indigenous solutions to threats to their seeds, crops, food and water security.
