Ancestral solutions for climate crisis

Traditional knowledge is helping boost community resilience in the face of drought in the Philippines, reports Mavic Conde. In the Cordillera highlands, an ancient agricultural practice is experiencing a revival, driven by the efforts of farmers like Anita Sinakay. Sinakay, who is from Tublay, continues the seed-saving traditions she learned from her parents, preserving the genetic diversity of crops that are well-suited to the region's unique climate & challenges. Sinakay leads the Benguet Association of Seed Savers (BASS), a coalition of organic farmers committed to reviving the practice of seed saving among local Indigenous communities, including the Ibaloys & Kankanaeys. This initiative, launched before the pandemic, aims to counter the decline in traditional seed-saving techniques. One of Sinakay's prized possessions is her collection of heirloom bean seeds, which have been cultivated & saved for over half a century. These beans are remarkably resilient to drought & other adverse weather conditions, a quality that has become increasingly vital as climate change exacerbates environmental stresses. Many farmers have shifted away from the labor-intensive process of seed saving, opting instead for high-input patented seeds promoted by the government & readily available from commercial sources. However, during tough conditions, the value of heirloom seeds becomes apparent. These seeds have been locally adapted through generations of breeding & planting, offering a level of reliability & sustainability that commercial seeds often cannot match. The Cordillera region has long relied on a sustainable system to capture water from the mountains. Despite this, many towns lack adequate irrigation infrastructure, making them dependent on rainfall for farming. In such an environment, the drought-tolerant properties of heirloom seeds are invaluable. Unlike commercial hybrid seeds, which are frequently sterile or produce unpredictable traits, open-pollinated heirloom seeds can be planted year after year, maintaining their desirable characteristics. Organic farming, which is closely tied to seed-saving practices, provides a more stable income for small-scale farmers compared to conventional methods. The latter often involve high costs for hybrid seeds & synthetic inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, & herbicides, which can increase yields but also deplete soil health & pollute water sources. Traditionally, agricultural knowledge was passed down orally among farmers. Today BASS supplements this oral tradition with written documentation, ensuring that this knowledge is preserved & accessible for future generations. As the farmers demonstrate, the ancient practice of seed saving is more than just a method of crop production; it is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture & community resilience in the face of climate change, highlighting the enduring relevance of these traditional practices in modern agriculture. https://mongabay.cc/1uJuEB

During my MS in Development Studies, I researched 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. In a village near Mardan, KPK Pakistan I interviewed elders who explained how they 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟴 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁. They noticed changes: -- in the river’s sound, --shifts in animal behaviour, -- patterns in the sky. This knowledge signals passed down through generations. Because of that, their community evacuated early and survived. When I later compared this with global data, the pattern was the same. Disaster organisations in the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 because it identifies threats earlier than technology. This raises a simple but important point: 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆. Yet globally, they are still treated as “participants” rather than essential decision-makers. In political ecology and environmental anthropology, this is called epistemic injustice, when certain knowledge systems are undervalued simply because they don’t come from technical institutions. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝟯𝟬, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲. The world depends on Indigenous peoples to protect biodiversity, maintain forests, and monitor environmental changes, yet when climate policy is written, their role becomes symbolic instead of structural. My research in Pakistan, and evidence from across the world shows that 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱. Because climate change is not only a scientific problem. It is a knowledge problem. We cannot keep designing policies in rooms that exclude the people who understand the land the most. Until Indigenous communities are treated as core contributors rather than invited spectators, our global climate response will remain incomplete, and far less effective than it could be.

What happens when AI meets ancestral wisdom in a time of crisis? The convergence of artificial intelligence and ancestral knowledge is no longer speculative, it is emerging as a necessary framework for crisis resilience and sustainable innovation. UNESCO’s new reflections, by Alexandra Okada and Giseli Vaz shows how AI and Indigenous knowledge can work together to respond to urgent ecological disruptions, and how community protagonism is always non-negotiable. What I took from it: 💙 Crisis resilience rooted in wisdom When rivers dry up, survival leans on ancestral memory: stories, ceremonies, practices of care. AI enters this weave as one more strand, shaped by and shaping the wisdom that guides response. We see similar hybrids elsewhere: Inuit communities co-created the SIKU app, blending satellite data with generations of ice knowledge to guide safe travel. Technology here extends collective resilience. 💙💙 Relational Sovereignty, not extractive Instead of asking “What was lost?” AI can help hold the question “Where is stewardship alive, and how do we amplify it?” This is sovereignty by design: centring human and ecological relationality rather than technological efficiency. Indigenous philosophies like Kaitiakitanga (Māori guardianship across seven generations) and Hózhó (Navajo balance and harmony) remind us that uncertainty and long horizons are strengths, not problems to be optimised away. 💙💙💙 Protagonists, not subjects Research too often treats communities as data sources. Here, Indigenous women led open schooling projects where youth, elders, and researchers co-shaped solutions. Elsewhere, Te Hiku Media in Aotearoa trains AI on Māori oral traditions to revitalise language, and Polynesian reef projects combine marine knowledge with AI monitoring to regenerate coral ecosystems. These show what happens when communities themselves remain narrators, stewards, and co-designers of AI futures. This resonates deeply with my own fieldwork. In pueblos indígenas in Argentina and in remote Australian communities, I witnessed how elders hold language as living memory, carried in story, song, and ceremony. These are infrastructures of care that teach us how to live in relation. For companies, institutions, and policymakers, the opportunity is to embrace sovereign, regenerative AI models, approaches that treat uncertainty as an asset and cultural memory as infrastructure for innovation. The future of AI rests in the capacity to intertwine intelligence with sovereignty and care. Organizations that embody this paradigm will carry resilience, legitimacy, and long-term impact. 📄 Link to the full UNESCO article for those who want to explore deeper in comments. #SovereignAI #RelationalAI #AIinEducation #FuturesOfEducation

Ken-Betwa River Linking Project: A Disaster in the Making? Lessons from India's Water Wisdom Thrilled to share my article published in Agrowon, Maharashtra's leading agriculture newspaper. It critically examines the ecological, economic, and social disasters tied to the Ken-Betwa River Linking Project while highlighting the importance of India's ancient water management wisdom. 🔴 Key Disasters Awaiting the Ken-Betwa Project 1️⃣ Environmental Devastation Over 9,000 hectares of land, including 5,578 hectares of the Panna Tiger Reserve, will be submerged, endangering thriving tiger populations, vultures, gharials, and over 300 bird species. The felling of 23 lakh trees, including 60 rare medicinal species, will lead to biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. 2️⃣ Irreversible Ecosystem Damage Altered river flows will disrupt sediment transport, groundwater recharge, and aquatic life cycles. Fragile ecosystems in Bundelkhand will face worsened water stress due to artificial interventions. 3️⃣ Impact on Local Communities 8,000+ families, mostly tribal communities, will be displaced, severing their deep cultural and economic ties to the land. Past displacement projects show rehabilitation efforts often fail, leaving affected families in poverty. 4️⃣ Economic and Climate Concerns The estimated cost of ₹44,605 crore is likely to increase by 50-100%, as observed in similar global projects. Changing monsoon patterns, increased evaporation, and unpredictable water availability raise questions about the project's feasibility in the climate crisis era. 🔴 India’s Ancient Water Wisdom: The Sustainable Alternative India has a rich tradition of decentralized, eco-friendly water systems that respect natural ecosystems: Johads in Rajasthan: Revived by community leaders like Rajendra Singh, these small reservoirs rejuvenated rivers and improved groundwater. Tank systems of South India: Interconnected tanks ensured water security for agriculture and drinking purposes. Phad System of Maharashtra: Ancient community-managed irrigation systems efficiently distributed water for farming. Bundelkhand’s Chandela and Bundela-era tanks: These traditional tanks once supported agriculture across the region. These systems are: ✔️ Low-cost ✔️ Adaptive to climate changes ✔️ Empowering for local communities 🔴 The Path Forward Focus on reviving traditional water bodies like Bundelkhand’s tanks, which can address water scarcity at minimal cost. Increase the efficiency of existing dams and reservoirs through desilting and better maintenance. Promote micro watershed management to ensure localized solutions. By rediscovering and investing in India’s ancient hydrology, we can avoid the pitfalls of large-scale projects like Ken-Betwa and build a sustainable, community-driven water future. 📸 Check out the full article in Marathi in the attached image! #Sustainability #IndianKnowledge #ClimateAction #KenBetwaProject #WaterWisdom

WEEK 1: THE CRISIS & THE SOLUTION The Data Behind Singhada: Part 1 - India's Forgotten Climate Solution India is facing simultaneous crises: water scarcity, carbon emissions, declining farmer incomes, and biodiversity loss. What if one crop could address all four? Meet singhada (water chestnut) - cultivated for 3,000+ years, now disappearing when we need it most. 🤔THE CURRENT STATE Current cultivation area: 16,900 hectares (2023) Total production: 67,600 tonnes annually Major regions: Bihar (Darbhanga, Katihar, Madhubani, Samastipur), Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal & MP Current trend: DECLINING drastically due to urbanization 🥲 THE REALITY CHECK ✓ Wetland area declined 35% since 1970 globally ✓ Natural wetlands declining at 0.78%/year - faster than deforestation ✓ India lost 60%+ wetlands since the 1850s ✓ Urbanization converting wetlands to fisheries/real estate ✓ No systematic government data collection until recently 💧 WATER CRISIS SOLUTION ✓ India's water stress: 17% of districts (110+) already water-scarce ✓ Singhada irrigation requirement: ZERO liters (grows in standing wetland water) ✓ Rice water requirement: 3,000-5,000 liters/kg ✓ Groundwater extraction: Zero for singhada vs continuous pumping for paddy ✓ Scale calculation: If 100,000 ha adopted singhada → Save 300-500 billion liters water annually 🏭 CARBON SEQUESTRATION POWER * Wetlands store 40-60% MORE carbon per acre than rainforests * Lacustrine wetlands: 341.13 Mg C/ha carbon stock * Anaerobic soil conditions = carbon locked for 100-1,000+ years * Wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of organic ecosystem carbon 🚨Context: While rainforests excel at rapid above-ground carbon capture, wetlands' anaerobic soil conditions slow decomposition dramatically meaning carbon stays locked away for centuries, not decades. 🚀 THE SCALE OPPORTUNITY * Current area: 16,900 hectares (declining) * India's total wetland area: 15.26 million hectares * Potential: Even 2% = 300,000 hectares ❄️ IF SCALED TO 300,000 HECTARES: * Carbon sequestered: ~10 million tonnes/year * Water saved: 900-1,500 billion liters/year (vs rice) * Farmers benefited: ~300,000 families * GHG reduction: Equivalent to removing 2.4 million cars from roads This is why MANTRAAQ exists, to scale singhada before it's too late. 💌Next week: The economics that make it viable for farmers.

🌱 From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Climate Solution: The Story of Biochar Long before modern agronomy, Indigenous communities in the Amazon perfected a form of regenerative agriculture. 🧑🌾 They created Terra Preta (“black earth”), soils that remain extraordinarily fertile for centuries. ♻️ Their secret? Integrating charred biomass from cooking fires with food scraps and manure. 🪵🔥 ➡️ 🌿 This wasn't just waste management; it was a brilliant, unintentional form of carbon sequestration and soil engineering. This wisdom emerged independently across the globe 🌍, from rice husk char in Asia 🍚 to charcoal-enriched soils in Africa. The principle was universal: adding stable carbon to soil builds long-term fertility and ecosystem resilience. Then, the Industrial Age shifted our focus. ⚙️ ➡️ 💸 Synthetic fertilizers delivered rapid yields but often at the cost of long-term soil health, leading to degradation and a heavy carbon footprint. 📉 Today, we face the consequences: depleted soils and a warming planet. 🌡️🔥 But within this challenge lies an opportunity, particularly in regions where open burning of crop waste is still common, releasing CO₂ and methane directly into the atmosphere. 💨 The solution? Empowering communities with accessible technology. 🛠️ Simple, low-cost kilns can transform agricultural waste into "artisan biochar". This isn't just a return to the past; it's a step forward. By converting waste into a soil amendment, we: ✅ Enhance food security by improving soil fertility and water retention 💧 ✅ Support decarbonization by locking carbon away for hundreds of years 🔒 ✅ Create a circular economy by turning a pollution problem into a valuable resource 🔄 Reviving this ancient practice offers a powerful, scalable tool for climate action. It’s a testament to how sometimes, the most forward-thinking solutions are rooted in deep, historical wisdom. 💚 What are your thoughts on the role of simple, accessible technologies in the fight against climate change? #Indochar #HelpingFarmers #HealingSoil #RemovingCarbon #Biochar #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #RegenerativeAgriculture #ClimateAction #CarbonSequestration #SoilHealth #ESG #Innovation

What if the same genetic diversity that stabilises landscapes could also stabilise supply chains? Local genetic diversity may be one of the most overlooked solutions to climate change — offering not just ecological resilience, but a form of long-term climate insurance. Crucially, this diversity already exists, often in the harshest of landscapes, precisely where support is most urgently needed. From an agricultural perspective, we can continue to invest in high-tech solutions, irrigation, and hybrid cultivars. But what if many of the traits we are actually searching for already exist - quietly embedded in gnarly, resilient landrace species scattered across arid and degraded landscapes? This vast pool of genetic diversity remains largely unmonitored and worryingly unprotected. Once it is lost it's gone for good. Species such as almond, olive, carob, argan and others still exist in semi-wild, seed-propagated forms - genetically rich, locally adapted and productive without the need for external inputs. When we also examine these landraces closely they often reveal something unexpected : crop qualities and oil profiles that rival, and sometimes exceed, those produced by intensively managed and irrigated systems. The resilience is something the trees inherited and can pass on to their offspring. Perhaps we need to look backwards as much as forwards. These systems are often overlooked because they don’t grow in straight lines, don’t produce uniform fruit, and don’t prioritise efficiency. Yet crucially they support local rural farming families first, and can allow income to emerge from resilience rather than in spite of it. The key is that this resilience comes from ancient genetic strains — still alive and still working. Within this ancient strength lies a pathway towards reliable rain-fed agriculture, diversified livelihoods and supply systems that are robust precisely because they are not based on monocultures and controlling nature. #biodiversity #nature #naturebasedsolutions #restoration #reforestation #olive #almond #climate #desertification #permaculture #trees #forests

BREAKING: Iran is thirsty for water – and the solution lies in ancient water wisdom! Iran’s water crisis is so severe that leaders have even discussed moving the capital city due to water shortages. How did it get this bad? Decades of over-pumping and dam-building have dried up rivers, emptied aquifers, and even damaged Iran’s 2,500-year-old sustainable water tunnels (qanats) that once reliably quenched communities. But there’s hope: the key to water security might be reviving ancient techniques and working with nature instead of against it. Here are a few solutions gaining attention: 💧 Revive Qanats: These millennia-old underground canals tap into deep aquifers and transport water over long distances while preventing evaporation and contamination, only taking what rain and snow replenish. Restoring them can bring back “everlasting springs” without over-exploitation. 🌳 Restore Ecosystems: Forests and wetlands help regulate the water cycle, bringing rain and storing groundwater (scientists like Anastassia Makarieva call this the “biotic pump” effect, where healthy forests actually attract rainfall). Reforesting and protecting watersheds can revive local moisture cycles. 🌦️ Retain Rainwater: Instead of letting precious rainwater and flash floods rush to the sea, capture and sink it into the ground. Simple steps like small check-dams, recharge basins, and rain gardens can refill aquifers. Water experts such as Michal Kravčík urge that keeping rain where it falls will restore the “small water cycle” and mitigate drought. This blend of ancient wisdom and nature-based solutions can refill wells, revive soils, and secure water for generations. Iran’s crisis is a warning to the world: modern tech alone isn’t enough – we must work with nature to solve water scarcity. 🌱 Time to act: Let’s invest in local water cycle restoration, from re-greening barren lands to revitalizing traditional water systems. By harnessing these proven methods, communities can become resilient against droughts and climate change. 💪💧 What do you think?
