[Aztlan] Oaxacan Corn

[Elizabeth Kirchner]

>
Hello,

Agriculture is dwindling in the rapidly modernizing and increasingly arid Oaxaca valley in the southern-most hills of the Sierra Madre Occidentale. Does anyone know whether corn germplasm grown there is being saved by any organization or group.

Any suggestions of who might know about this sturdy strain of corn peculiar to the milpas of this valley?

Thanks very much,
Liz
