Re-learning how to Hold Ancestral Waters: Animal Agriculture for a Regenerative Charreria
The Apan region is at a pivotal point where it can continue into an unsustainable future of desertification or restore what remains of its vital lifelines. By developing its own water sovereignty and rejecting continual exploitation. This project would restore a functioning water cycle. The regenerative principles from indigenous practices can help restore the broken water, nutrient, and carbon cycles. Soil storages and infiltration of water would return through formalizing animal grazing. I am proposing a long-term systematic transition of the region. with an adaptation of indigenous frameworks to guide conservation, restoration, and new economies for agroecological tourism of charreria, that have cultural grounding and empower local people.
