Event Title
Food Sovereignty and the Roots of Migration: Defending Corn and Culture in Oaxaca
Description
In the face of NAFTA and migration, CEDICAM works with over 1,500 villagers in 12 communities and accompanies them in sharing knowledge, skills and methods which preserve the countryside and livelihoods, and offer a greater level of food sovereignty to some of Oaxaca's most marginalized people. CEDICAM projects have planted over a million native trees and launched model rain catchment programs for family use and that recharge the aquifers feeding the mountain springs on which Mixteca communities depend.
About the Lecturer: Eleazar Garcia, indigenous campesino from the Mixteca region of Oaxaca; founding member of the Center for Integral Development of the Campesino of the Mixteca Alta (CEDICAM).
