In Colombia southwest, Kamëntšá and Inga Indigenous women are at the forefront of the struggle to defend their territory, which provides water to the rest of the Putumayo.
They achieve this through their chagras, traditional growing spaces that contain hundreds of edible and medicinal plant species and their knowledge and deep connection with the territory.

The Sibundoy Valley in Putumayo, southwestern Colombia, is an ancestral territory inhabited by two sister ethnic groups: the Kamëntšá and the Inga, descendants of the Peruvian Incas.

This painting beautifully portrays a traditional rural farming scene. In the image, several farmers — both women and men — are seen working together in a paddy field. The women are wearing colorful sarees and are bent over, planting rice seedlings in the wet, muddy water. The men are also engaged in the same task on the other side of the field. In the middle of the scene, there is a palm tree, which adds a natural touch to the rural landscape. In the background, there are green fields and a blue sky with light clouds, indicating a calm and pleasant day. The painting reflects the hard work, unity, and simplicity of village life, especially during the rice planting season. It captures the essence of traditional agriculture and the importance of teamwork in farming.

I wonder if the seaweed can be soaked, and then the salt water used for other purposes (perhaps boiled down to produce natural sea salt)?
How to Use Seaweed to Mulch Your Garden
Seaweed will benefit your garden any time of year, but it is especially useful as a mulch to protect plants during hot, dry weather. In our garden, we’ve come to rely on seaweed as a valuable, yet free, source of fertilizer, mulch and organic pest control all in one natural material.
By Greg Seaman, September 18, 2010
Excerpt: "But what about salt? Is this a problem?
"We have been using seaweed as mulch for many years and have not seen any adverse effect, such as a salt overload in the soil. In our region we have plentiful rain. If you are concerned about salt, seaweed can be spread out over the driveway and rinsed with a hose. Of course this is not an issue if you are using freshwater lake weed."

Excerpts: "It is great for mulching vegetable gardens and raised beds. Due to salt levels, you cannot plant into a layer of seaweed mulch immediately, but rain will quickly wash any excess salt away and make it safe for planting.
"It is permitted to collect seaweed from the beach, however, rules differ depending on the location, so check your local regulations. There can be restrictions on quantities or seasons. When collecting seaweed, take only fresh seaweed and do not take large amounts. Cut the tips of seaweed and never pull the plant from the base; snipping off the ends allows it to continue to photosynthesize."

So, I enjoy watching TV shows that have folks learning the ways things used to be done. Some old ways are worth revisiting! For instance, in the last episode of #EdwardianFarm, seaweed was used to mulch strawberries! I plan on trying that out!
