Through *Living Memory in Peril*, readers are invited on a journey to the heart of African food knowledge, where traditional plants-once the pillars of cultures and local regions-are gradually disappearing. Through field reports, scientific insights, and the voices of farmers who act as seed guardians, the book highlights the extent of the erosion of food biodiversity on the continent. It reveals how the standardization of diets, economic pressures, and climate change are undermining a living heritage that is essential to food sovereignty, health, and the cultural identity of African peoples. But this book also offers hope: it highlights local initiatives, agroecology, and intergenerational transmission as paths to renewal. A passionate plea to protect, cultivate, and pass on this nourishing heritage before it fades away.
