Farming the Floating Gardens (Chinampas) of Mexico with Lucio Usobiaga

Welcome to episode 378 of Growers Daily! We cover: Last week I caught up with Lucio Usobiaga of Arca Tierra in Mexico, and it's hard to describe everything that this organization does. Their focus is to promote and encourage local agriculture in and around the chinampas – the famed floating gardens – in Mexico and so they aggregate a lot of food from that area. So Lucio and I talk about that. We talk about the chinampas as well—what they are, how they work (like ever think about how to get compost out to a garden on lake?), how they were created, and what their current fate is. It's a fascinating and wide ranging conversation We are a Non-Profit! 👇 🙌 DONATE 🙌 profile/16047666 Links for today: Arca Tierra: Arca Tierra Instagram: MUSIC from this episode: Endless by Victor Lundberg via Support our work (👊) at or Show Sponsors: Rimol Greenhouses: GrownBy: coop.grownby.com/ notill Good Agriculture: Tilth Soil!: MY BOOK!
