Edible Landscapes in the Desert film
We can't battle the large impacts of climate change, but we can plant trees and gardens to decrease the rising temperatures we’re feeling in Arizona. Taking it one step further, by planting fruit and food-producing trees and edible gardens we not only counteract the rising temperatures but can potentially strengthen our local food system.
Meet the Speakers:
Darren Chapman of TigerMountain Foundation walks us through a collaboration with Trees Matter to address food insecurity through the planting of fruit trees and improves the shade canopy at Spaces of Opportunity located in South Phoenix.
In Tucson, learn how the Iskashitaa Refugee Network is gleaning residential fruit trees to empower refugees and feed vulnerable communities.
Also, meet Herman Harris and Randiesia Fletcher, of Harris-Fletcher Enterprises, who are creating an edible food forest in Tucson to feed their community and provide a shaded reprieve for those relying on public transit.
