Avocado Food Fight
Update: 2020-04-03
Description
We love avocados in this country, so much so that some people are willing to pay $19 for avocado toast! Crazy. Avocados are healthy for us (they say), and judging by the increased demand for avocados (we import over 2 billion pounds of avocados every year from Mexico), the Mexican avocado trade is worth $1.5 billion dollars annually.
However, the avocado supply chain there has unfortunately left some blood in the streets, enabled organized criminals who are fighting over territory, and it’s manipulated environmental institutions causing irreversible damage to the environment - despite their big profits.
Listen in to learn what you can do to support California growers and help the family farmers in Mexico stay alive!
