While many people in our society may have forgotten about the native crops of our region, the people of the Ajo Center for Sustainable Agriculture (Ajo CSA) surely have not. Ajo CSA noticed that many traditional crops and agricultural techniques that are unique to our region were in danger. How did they respond? They created the Adopt-A-Sonoran-Desert Crop Program: a seed-saving program that aims to preserve and promote native and regionally appropriate crops.
