Food for a Bountiful, Dry World with Richard Felger
Thursday, September 21, 2017, 03:30pm - 04:30pm |
Free. Botanist Dr. Richard Felger will make a powerful case in favor of growing food crops that are native and well-adapted to the Southwest. As climate change causes our region to become hotter and drier, we cannot continue to grow thirsty crops in a land of little rain. In Dr. Felger’s words: “The deserts, grasslands, and forests are food. Hedge your bets in a diversity of crops. High protein, no-till, low water. Fit the crop to the land.”
