Maíz, Climate Change and Food Security

Maíz is one of Mesoamerica's biggest gifts to the world. Nine thousand years ago, this ancient grain became the heart of Mexico's agriculture and nutrition as the indigenous people developed techniques to plant, grow, and harvest it alongside other foods in a sustainable way, respecting and nurturing the soil.

Unfortunately, Climate Change is tremendously affecting not only ancient traditions but Mexico's Food Security itself. In this infographic, we guide you through the challenges the country is currently facing and the solutions that might help preserve the legacy of Maíz.
