In one of our favorite stories, “Corn Tastes Better on the Honor
System,” Potawatomi mother, scientist, and professor Robin Wall
Kimmerer takes us through the nine-thousand-year existence of
maize, reflecting on the ancient circle of reciprocity that links
humans and corn and what has been severed in this once deeply
sacred relationship. With an eye to the unsustainable industrial
practices—GMOs, monoculture, use of toxic fertilizers—that continue
to dominate the landscape of agriculture, Robin invites us to
reconnect with the age-old teachings and kinships, held within
plants, that are waiting to be remembered. Explore this feature.
