We are ancestry
Since ancient times, indigenous peoples have contributed to the food subsistence of the world, caring for the seeds with ancestral knowledge of each community, which like threads are being weaved in harmony with Mother Earth.
Our indigenous women began the collection and protection of seeds, as well as a community we have developed our own local economies for our food sovereignty based on the cosmovision and law of origin of each indigenous people; maintaining the connection with animals and native seeds, preserving the traditional knowledge of crops, their uses and sustainable farming practices, safeguarding our sacred rituals, implementing traditional productive systems, conserving gastronomic applications and producing crafts based on local resources.
Dynamize the participation of indigenous producers in community work initiatives that allow the strengthening economies of the indigenous peoples of Colombia, promoting the knowledge of ancestral knowledge through the Semilla Nativa Indígena brand, positioning it at a local and global level.
Our vision
By the year 2025, Semilla Nativa Indígena is recognized as the brand that represents the indigenous communities of Colombia, providing a platform to promote its products nationally and internationally, implementing strategies to strengthen its traditional production processes for the families economic sustainability, in which the new generations play an active role of their territories, maintaining healthy and well-fed communities that live in harmony with their environment.
Our strategic objective
Weave a network to connect the producers and artisans of the indigenous communities with national and international customers, consolidating the commercialization of products with a guarantee of authenticity, and actively participating in cultural safeguarding and survival of the Indigenous Peoples of Colombia.
