On National Day of Maize in Mexico, Protecting the Sacred Plant The defense of corn is not just to preserve our sacred plant. It is also fundamental to sustaining Mexico as a living genetic reserve of important varieties of fruits and vegetables that feed humanity. This great agro-biodiversity would never exist without the campesinos/as who, over centuries, have fed and nurtured a proud culture which is an example for many countries. When all is said and done, we are children of corn. It’s our life, and we need to protect it. --Adelita San Vicente Tello, Other Worlds truth-out.org/opinion/item/26585-on-national-day-of-maize-in-mexico-protecting-the-sacred-plant
