For centuries, many people in the Western world believed the Amazon to be an unpopulated and untouched forest. This has never been true. The Amazon has been managed by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. We explore how, through the creation of fertile soils and the selection and cultivation of plant and tree species over millennia, Indigenous peoples have transformed the Amazon rainforest into the most biodiverse ecosy...

As heat, drought, floods and fires increasingly affect global breadbaskets, we’re being called to rethink how food is made.
