Was bedeutet die Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Pflanze für dich?

„For me, the relationship between humans and plants represents a connection of interdependence, care, and coexistence that goes beyond a purely utilitarian view of nature. Plants are living beings with which historical, cultural, and territorial bonds are forged. Our relationship with plants involves care and dedication that, in turn, allows us to preserve memories, knowledge, identities, and ways of inhabiting the land.“

Welche Pflanze inspiriert dich besonders?

„The bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a plant that deeply inspires me, because it represents resilience, memory, and reciprocity. It is a seed that has historically accompanied the lives of many rural and Indigenous communities, adapting to different territories and farming practices. The bean, especially in Latin America, reflects a relationship of care and continuity across generations, as its conservation depends on the exchange, selection, and safeguarding carried out by those who cultivate the land. Beyond its nutritional value, it also symbolizes diversity, community, and the capacity to sustain life through everyday and collective practices. “
