Summary
This book weaves together reflections, stories, and diverse voices around the symbolic, ecological, and community value of seeds. From personal experiences to collective perspectives, it explores how these small elements carry memories of the past, possibilities of the present, and promises for the future. Present in everyday practices and territorial struggles, seeds emerge here as allies in building conscious relationships with the land and among those who inhabit it.
Through essays, interviews, and poetic pieces, this publication gathers the testimonies of activists, educators, environmental promoters, and people of various ages, whose experiences show how seeds teach patience, resilience, and care. Their ability to adapt and transform resonates with today’s ecosocial challenges and invites us to rethink our relationship with the environment through what is small, everyday, and collective.
The book includes an educational section with proposals for facilitators, teachers, and individuals interested in play, observation, and environmental awareness. It also offers practical tools to strengthen the bond between communities and nature through a pedagogy of wonder and care.
