  • Farming agave while respecting the environment, people & tradition

    Farming agave while respecting the environment, people & tradition
    Feb 26 2025
    Today I talk about an article I read called “Mezcal must challenge irresponsible agave farming”. It was a very interesting article talking about how we can make sure to grow agave in a sustainable fashion, that benefits environment, people and tradition. I hope you learned something in today’s podcast as a lot of the points that the main character in the article explains are things we are trying to implement here in California andhaving success with. We hope him a lot of success on his journey of trying to make Mezcal more sustainable, and we will use his words as inspiration to make California Agave as sustainable as possible.

  • Brazilian farmers use Agave for biofuels & slowing the expansion of deserts

    Brazilian farmers use Agave for biofuels & slowing the expansion of deserts
    Feb 22 2025
    Today, i talk about Brazilian Agave. The farmers & researchers are very innovative in Brazil & are using alot of advances in agriculture to explore & utilize the agave plant for a variety of uses, such as: bioenergy, biofuels, biomethane, biohydrogen, biochar & even slowing the deserts expansion. I think there is alot of positives in what they are doing as well as alot of negatives, but you can make your own opinion as we talk about some of the implications of what they are doing, such as creating GMO agave & yeasts. We also get into how i believe these projects could improve a bit and how California can learn and improve from them as well. Enjoy! Follow me on: IG/threads: Farmingandgardeningcalifornia & agavencactustalk TT, YT & Pinterest: Agavero Californiano FB: California Agave Farmer Follow the California Agave Alliance on Bluesky, Instagram, threads, facebook & soon youtube.
