Its all happening in area where its gets extremely hot and dry, making it quite challenging to cultivate food. But by using a special technique to farm in the desert, they can turn sandy gravel into fertile soil, making this once dust bowl into a lush green oasis. Tucson, Arizona located in the Sonoran desert, it receives on average 11 inches of rainfall a year and on a particularly dry year it can be at as little as 5 inches, summers are sweltering with the highest temperature reaching 107f or 42c, its mostly clear all year around, the winters are cool and dry with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing, making the winter season the ideal time for planting. On this 6 acre lot of land in south-west Tucson was nothing but a wasteland, it was dusty barren and unused, situated between a residential community and a dry river bed. Over the years the community have been turning this over-looked space into a thriving organic farm and they’ve been doing it by learning to use special desert farming techniques. The project called Las Milpitas started on county owned land back in 2006, with the idea not only to make growing food accessible to anyone but also to cultivate a community, since 90% of the housing in this area are trailers, they do not have backyards and there are no local parks nearby. They also live in what’s known as “a food desert’ where there is no access to fresh vegetables close by and for the majority of low income families who live here it is also unaffordable to buy healthy food, let alone organic produce. In Tucson, one person in seven is food insecure which is slightly above the national average. That's why the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, have partnered with the Las Milpitas community garden since 2011 to teach people to grow their own food. They also provide free irrigation, tools, plants and seedlings, assistance and classes on nutrition, cooking, budgeting, grocery shopping and gardening. They encourages the gardeners to earn some extra money by selling their surplus produce at the local farmer market Learn more about the project here: https://www.communityfoodbank.org/locations/las-milpitas-community-farm/ 🔔 SUBSCRIBE @LeafofLifeMusicOfficial @LeafofLifeWorld @LeafofLifeES ✍ ENQUIRES contact: leafoflifefilms@gmail.com _________________________ 💚 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Support our on the ground impact work at: https://www.leafoflife.news/ Help us share more regenerative stories: https://www.patreon.com/leafoflifefilms Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDDMpdWv1mGdx3ABJBgvidw/join _________________________ music by LiQWYD YouTube @LiQWYD https://www.youtube.com/liqwyd _________________________ This video is for education and research purposes If you are the owner of any of the images please contact us an we can credit or remove the image, THANK YOU FAIR USE COPYRIGHT NOTICE The Copyright Laws of the United States recognizes a “fair use” of copyrighted content.
