In 2023, we collaborated with the Metropolitan Autonomous University (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, UAM) and the National Council of Humanities, Sciences, and Technologies (CONAHCYT) on the project UNIVERSITY FOOD AND SUSTAINABILITY: FROM MILPA TO TABLE. This initiative builds upon the projects “Aval del Maíz Nativo” (“The Endorsement of Native Corn”) and “Valorización de Maíces en la Ciudad de México” (“The Promotion of Native Corn in Mexico City”). This project aims to establish a network among native maize producers and processors, grounded in the values of a solidarity economy and agroecological practices. This network seeks to supply tortillas and other corn-based products to the University’s campuses.
We continue to work closely with producers within this economic model, ensuring that the added value remains in their hands. * "Milpa" is a traditional Mesoamerican farming system where crops like maize, beans, and squash are grown together.
