This Thanksgiving, as we gather to celebrate the bounty on our tables, it’s worth remembering that many foods deeply rooted in North American history are facing extinction.
💡 Across the continent, traditional ingredients, rare fruits, heritage grains, and unique animal breeds are at risk of disappearing within a generation.
A good source for knowing about these foods is The Ark of Taste, a living catalog curated by the Slow Food movement.
By identifying, celebrating, and sharing the stories of these endangered foods we can help revive and protect them for the future.
➡️ This Thanksgiving, let’s have gratitude & honor for the foodways that connect us to place, history, and community.
By learning about endangered food & medicine traditions, and seeking them out at markets or adding them to your holiday table, these may endure for generations to come…let’s work together to help save our global threatened biodiversity!
