Everyone is invited to celebrate the abundance of the #semidesert and learn about the importance of mesquite in the local #ecosystem, its #ethnobotanical history, the harvesting and processing of the #pods for the production of delicious #foods with high nutritional density, and about the potential for integration into #regenerative #agriculture systems of this multipurpose native tree that has been the food source of various indigenous cultures for thousands of years.

The mesquite has the potential to become a strategic element in the revitalization of ecosystems and to provide #food #sovereignty for the populations of the arid and semi-arid zones of #Mexico and we want to celebrate that.
