Ărramăt Co-Applicant: Vincent Ekka – Vincent Ekka, Ărramăt Co-Applicant (2023)

“Sustainable food systems are a significant part of Indigenous peoples’ environmental stewardship. It includes conserving crop biodiversity, sustainable uses of natural resources (water, soil, nutrients, fertilizers), and providing dietary diversity for the community. Such a food system has made indigenous communities self-reliant in terms of agricultural inputs and food requirements while making their food system resilient to climate changes and global food volatility.” - Vincent Ekka, Ărramăt Co-Applicant (April 2025)”
