We invite you all to travel with us through the complexity and interconnectedness of food in arid regions and explore the stories and practices of traditional and small-scale producers who innovate in regenerative food systems through intergenerational knowledge. The podcast challenges you to think about the roots of food and make conscious decisions about what is on our plate and how it got there. Co-hosted by Sara El-Sayed as part of her Ph.D. dissertation at Arizona State University in collaboration with 4 undergraduate students Anna Elovitz, Jordan Sene, Katie Blessington, Madison Harris
