Geo-Mexico talk in ACÁ eco-series

UPDATE – This post has been edited to reflect the fact that ACÁ closed in mid-2011.

Geo-Mexico author Tony Burton, aided by Richard Rhoda, gave a presentation today about “Man and Nature in Mexico” as a fund-raiser to a good-sized group of ACÁ supporters.
ACÁ was a non-profit organization in Mexico that promoted sustainable farming and resource use, and had made a considerable positive impact on hundreds of villagers in the Lake Chapala region of Jalisco. The talk was well received and some great questions were asked, which we will try to answer more fully in future posts on this blog. They included a request for more details about the highly productive chinampa system of food production which dates back to pre-Hispanic times. Watch this space for more details in the near future!
