The Shift of Land is a 13 part series, which looks at the deep connections between land, culture and agriculture in New Mexico. The purpose of the program is to remember this connection between land and culture, to look at where agriculture came from in the state and where it?s going. With scholars, farmers and ranchers we will look at where New Mexican agriculture has come from with the Native Nations to the Spanish and Indio-Hispano settlers to the Anglo European settlers. We will also explore how national and global trends in agriculture have affected and are affecting the state. The Shift of Land explores the Seed Sovereignty movement which Pueblos and the NM Acequia Association have worked to educate the public and the state legislature on the importance of Native and traditional seeds and the need to protect them from possible contamination by Genetically Modified Seeds which are grown primarily in the Eastern and Southern parts of the state.
