Is Sustainable Food Production Possible in the Desert?

Sustainable food production in the desert is a concept I have wrestled with for the last seven years, ever since we began the Bisbee Farmers Market.  After visiting many ranches, farms and backyards where solar water pumps, solar powered electric fencing, windmills, rain water harvesting and organic methods are used,  I’ve concluded that it is not only possible but something to promote. To educate consumers and producers we created the non profit organization, Baja Arizona Sustainable Agriculture.
