PROGRAM # 9692 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Berries, Mexico’s top agri-food export product, is rapidly replacing the traditional corn crops in the state of Jalisco, one of the largest berry producers. The state government touts the sudden development of the agro industry. They call this project “Jalisco gigante agroindustrial.” Yet, local community leaders point to a number of long-lasting damages: deforestation, groundwater over pumping, and agrochemical contamination. This and other topics are discussed in this edition.
