Unpredictable rainfall severely impacts the food we eat. In the face of varying weather patterns, farmers and producers, including our #TLpartner producers at @HillWild , @HimalayanHaatFarm , @TenaciousBeehive , and @Last_Forest , often have to contend with challenges such as landslides, logistical hurdles, and even changes in local diets. Read ‘How Food Producers in the Mountains Navigate Unseasonal Rains’ by @YadhviShah to learn more about the challenges brought by unseasonal rains across mountainous regions and how farmers and producers in India navigate them on our website—link in bio. This story is part of our Feeding the Future Project—a storytelling collaboration between @TheLocavore.in and Hands of Transition. Hands of Transition is a global initiative that connects communities leading the transformation of food systems. Officially launched in 2025 by @Purpose , it brings design, storytelling, and ground-up action together to ensure that the people most affected by climate and food insecurity are also shaping the solutions.

From harvesting honey to growing indigenous vegetables, unpredictable rainfall severely impacts the food we eat. The monsoon season in India typically lasts from June to September, and when not erratic, it supports over 50 percent of the country’s farmland. This year, wetter, more precarious rainfall caught regions across the country off-guard. According to experts and news reports, India experienced almost double or 85.7 percent more rainfall than usual in the month of May. These fluctuating weather conditions often give rise to landslides, flash floods, and biodiversity loss, which become particularly difficult to navigate in steep, hilly regions. In our new story, @YadhviShah gathers perspectives from our #TLpartner producers—@TenaciousBeehive , @HimalayanHaatFarm , @HillWild , and @Last_Forest —to understand some of these challenges, and how they deal with them.

なんと！今回マニプールの燻製唐辛子を届けてくれる、パートナーのゼイノリン・アンカンの活動が『料理通信』で紹介されました🌶️♥️ クラウドファンディングのページでも、マニプールの食文化の魅力、ゼイノリンの活動のユニークさと意義はお伝えしていますが、ライターの @chitrini さんが、さらに唐辛子を使った調味料についてご紹介してくださっています！どうぞご覧ください🥰 そして...ゼイノリンの活動や、マニプールの食文化に関心を持ってくださった方は、ぜひご支援よろしくお願いします🙏♥️ 🔗料理通信の記事、クラウドファンディングのページは @higumi.33 のプロフィールのリンクから

【すべてのスパイス好きに届け！】魔法のような、香りの総量。 インド最後のフロンティア、発酵食文化とスパイス文化が交差するマニプール州で育まれた、芳醇なスパイスが届きました🌶️ この「燻製唐辛子」の香りを初めて体験した時、私はとにかく「感動」しました。 今までに体験したことのない、香りがブーストされている感覚。 さらに、この燻製唐辛子の産地で、衰退した伝統農法を再生しているゼイノリンのストーリーに、惚れ込み、プロジェクトを立ち上げることにしました。 彼女とは私が所属するNGO Earth Companyを通じて知り合い、紛争のためデリーに避難していると聞き、今年1月に再会しました。 それから日本への輸出に向けて、様々なハードルがありましたが、今は皆さんにこの「感動」を届けることができると、ワクワクしています！ 今回のクラウドファンディングは、香りの体験こそ価値だと思っているので、どのリターンにも燻製唐辛子が含まれます。（特におすすめなのはマニプール料理教室ですが！） さらに、スパイスの生産背景、文化、何よりおいしさ楽しんでいただくコンテンツに振り切ったので、ぜひ一つひとつ見ていただきたいです！ ぜひ少しでも共感していただけたら、ご支援、シェア、よろしくお願いします🙏 🔗詳細のリンクはプロフィールから @higumi.33 @spicefulco

This World Environment Day, we invite you to pause and think: how are the people who grow our food coping with climate change? What does unpredictability look like for them—day after day, season after season? And what does it mean for the future of our local food systems? To explore these questions, we turned to four of our #TLpartner producers—@WildJaiFarm based in Gir, Gujarat, @HimalayanHaatFarm and @Kuninda.in from Uttarakhand, and @HillWild , whose work spans Manipur and Nagaland. Across these diverse geographies, climate change is no longer distant—it’s unfolding now. Mangoes ripen too early, storms destroy fruit just before harvest, and chillies are picked green to beat the rain. Yields fall, labour is scarce, and timelines unravel. But what’s equally clear is the ingenuity and grit of these producers. From using weather apps to predict storms, to reviving indigenous crops that adapt slowly but surely, to rethinking planting patterns and diversifying incomes through agro-tourism—each is charting their own path forward. Swipe through to hear directly from the fields—and learn what it truly means to grow food in a time of climate crisis. You can learn more about our incredible #TLpartner producer community on @TheLocavore.in website. Photos by @WildJaiFarm , @HimalayanHaatFarm , @Kuninda.in , and @HillWild .
