An Ethnobotanist Lens of Food with Anthony Basil Rodriguez

Hello and welcome back to the Community Agriculture Project Podcast. In S2E3, we have a conversation with Anthony Basil Rodriguez: storyteller, researcher, and documentarian of rare plants, humankind and the flux of global society.

Anthony defines ethnobotany and we hear about his expeditions to different countries and areas that have focused on specific documentation efforts. We talk about bananas, cacao and quinoa as well as a few other foods of interest.
