THE GOOD EARTH Project:
The Good Earth series celebrates New Mexican agrarians who are revitalizing land through regenerative practices—building soil, sequestering carbon, reducing toxins, and improving the health of people, plants and animals.
It was my great pleasure to collaborate with interviewer Mary-Charlotte Domandi and editor Madison McClintock to showcase the important work of our fellow New Mexicans. This series was funded by a grant from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture Healthy Soils Program.
