We argue that historical and material conditions are critical for sustaining on-farm agrobiodiversity conservation in quilombola territories. Land tenure security and territorial rights are essential for maintaining traditional agroecosystems that integrate ecological knowledge, cultural heritage, and biodiversity management. Strengthening seed exchange connectivity, fostering collaboration across groups - from inside and outside territories - are urgent actions to enhance resilience, safeguard traditional knowledge, and ensure long-term biocultural justice
