Why this card
The reported seed: a Mongabay report notes that global diets are narrowing, with Indigenous Indian vegetables like clove bean and Yerengere varieties fading from common consumption. The imagined enabling change: regional education and community programs begin systematic preservation through school gardens. The downstream outcome: children encounter forgotten crops they never grew up seeing, reversing the dietary homogenization. The 2038 placement allows time for this initiative to spread from pilot programs to district-wide adoption.
