Something About Me
My name is Ixchell Roque and I love food. I think my relationship with the earth and our interactions with it started when I was very small pulling weeds in the garden and picking oranges from the trees. I believe our relationship with our food and how it’s grown is broken; many people do not know where their food comes from, and many more do not even have access to fresh and nutritious foods. Sustainable agriculture and native food systems are tools that I hope to use to heal our relationship with food. I have been volunteering in gardens and learning about plants and native practices to contribute to this goal.
