This editorial frames resilience and resistance as intertwined forces driving systemic transformation in food systems and beyond. It highlights how grassroots movements across diverse contexts—including Palestine, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Germany, Brazil, Nicaragua, Kenya, Canada, Zimbabwe, Mali, and Colombia—defend territories, seeds, and ecosystems while advancing food sovereignty, agroecology, and care-centered practices. The article critiques industrial agriculture and extractivist models for concentrating power and eroding local knowledge, while emphasizing the political significance of everyday practices of cultivation, sharing, and community care. By weaving together indigenous, peasant, feminist, and transnational perspectives, the editorial underscores that resilience is not only about adaptation but also about building collective power to create ecological alternatives.
