Good Food Film Series: Are Edible Landscapes and Trees the Answer to Arizona's Rising Climate Crisis?
Film Premiere
We can't battle the large impacts of climate change, but we can plant trees to decrease the rising temperatures we're feeling in Arizona. Taking it one step further, by planting fruit and food-producing trees and edible gardens we not only counteract the impacts of climate change but can potentially strengthen our local food system.
Darren Chapman of TigerMountain Foundation walks us through their collaboration with Trees Matter that honors the lives lost to Covid, addresses food insecurity through the planting of fruit trees, and improves the shade canopy at Spaces of Opportunity located in South Phoenix.
In Tucson, learn how the Iskashitaa Refugee Network is gleaning residential fruit trees to empower refugees and feed vulnerable communities. Also, meet Herman Harris and Randiesia Fletcher, of Harris-Fletcher Enterprises, who are creating an edible food forest in Tucson to feed their community and provide a shaded reprieve for those relying on public transit.
