People don't even know what they are missing. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has reported that about 75% of the world’s plant genetic diversity has been lost in the last century, with industrial agriculture driving a shift toward uniform crops. This loss of diversity means that most people primarily see a narrow range of crops in supermarkets, media, and everyday life. Heirloom maize varieties are now mainly preserved by indigenous and small-scale farmers, particularly in regions like Mexico, Central America, and parts of Africa, where maize diversity is deeply embedded in cultural heritage. 🔥 Please sign and share this petition - Small things can have large impacts 🌽 https://t.co/45oPpDrC2w
