From Bleak to Lush Pt 2

from Heritage Mezcal · host Alan Schubert, Roy Sierra, Chava Periban

I think a lot about agriculture, in my mind it was the first way in which humans expressed themselves. They planted for survival, but also to meet and expand their desires.They were able to create more deliciousness and more complexity hand in hand with the territory they worked.  The land was loved and it loved us back. Somehow, just very recently,  this relationship was broken. And now it seems we've decided to abuse the land and the environments we live in rather than work with them.In this second episode with Sophia Trapp, we explore how agave and mezcal production could possibly offer some answers to how we can love our land once again. I hope you enjoy it.
