Farmers and growers in Chile aim to protect the traditional crops of their ancestors.

Seed guardians collect, trade and plant hundreds of seeds to preserve forgotten varieties of tomatoes, corn and other vegetables.

Seeds are dwindling due to changing environments or farmers opting for higher-yield varieties.

"We are rescuing the seeds and knowledge of our ancestors," one guardian says.
