Farmers in Chile, called seed guardians, save old seeds. These seeds come from the Mapuche people. Mapuche people use them a long time ago.
The guardians plant, trade, and keep many kinds of seeds, like tomatoes and corn. Some seeds do not exist anymore. The weather is changing. Farmers are choosing faster-growing plants.
Some seeds are hard to find now. But they are very important. They help grow new plants when the weather changes. Without these old seeds, some plants will stop growing.
Chef and guardian Pablo Ceres plant many kinds of tomatoes. This year, he has 26 kinds, not just five like before.
Difficult words: guardian (a person who keeps someone or something safe), seed (a small object from which a new plant grows), trade (to do business).
