Resilience for restoration: Insights from the Northern Great Plains native seed system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Native plants are essential to ecological restoration and culturally important to local and Tribal communities, yet native seed systems across the United States (US) struggle to meet restoration demand. In the US Northern Great Plains, land conversion of native ecosystems means restoration potential is high but constrained by an underdeveloped

Care through cultivation: Indigenous Swidden agriculture as forest care
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract This paper argues that the agricultural practices of Bunong swidden cultivators in northeastern Cambodia constitute relational care for forests that is fundamentally misunderstood, misrecognized, and marginalized by dominant state policies, conservation, and development paradigms. Bringing together care theory, long‐term ethnographic research,

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.
