"Taco Diplomacy" and Border Foodways Alliance

Gary Nabhan joined Sabores Sin Fronteras (Flavors Without Border) Border Foodways Alliance to inaugurate the launch of "Taco Diplomacy." Together they work to create a smaller, more sustainable "foodprint" (carbon footprint of food production and delivery) for food production systems, including livestock, chile and wheat in the bi-national foodshed shared by the Southwestern U.S. and Mexican border states.

A Phase Two grant enabled Gary and his team to engage the citizenry in artistically imagining and implementing a local food culture that is just and sustainable.
