Technology in Water and Agriculture

Juan Jose Consejo - Technology in Water and Agriculture

Mon, Mar 30, 2009

Discussion Summary:

Oaxaca is a complicated region of Mexico, with many protected zones and a lot of ethnic diversity. It is a difficult area for agriculture.

The local Indians treat water a sacred, a perspective that has many advantages over modern conceptualizations of water.

Conseja's project aims to create a sustainable city, which requires changing the social relationship to water, change strategic lines, and using alternative agricultural techniques that are simpler and less resource intensive.
