Intersectional Solution

 I've learned that meaningful change needs to come from multiple angles at once after learning about intersectional solutions in ecology and agriculture. Collective farming and women's cooperatives are strong examples of how local communities, particularly women, may take the lead. These strategies support ecological farming, preserve seed diversity, and empower women economically. I believe that when women's voices are heard together, they may give their struggles more strength and visibility. It's encouraging to know that communities can develop varied, equitable, and sustainable farming systems when they collaborate and exchange knowledge.

Meanwhile, I've realized that research needs to be decolonized. All too frequently, foreign scholars enter countries like Bhutan, utilize local expertise, and then depart with all the credit, leaving the society with very little benefit. This seems impolite and unfair. We ought to concentrate on developing original research that is grounded in our customs and ideals. Indigenous knowledge systems and practices are equally as significant as Western science. We question established power systems and create solutions that accurately represent who we are when we prioritize our own voices and safeguard our knowledge. I've been inspired by this reflection to respect local knowledge and think that our own communities may hold the solutions to our issues.
