Eating Slow in a metropolis: a coffee conversation with Raúl Mondragón

Eating sustainably in a big city sounds impossible, right? What if we told you it’s not — and that ancient floating farms might be the answer? 

In our latest episode, we grab coffee with food activist Raúl Mondragón to chat about: Chinampas: 1,000-year-old floating farms still feeding Mexico City; why local vendors sometimes skip local food for cheaper options across town; easy ways YOU can support sustainable food without leaving your neighborhood.

If you’ve ever wondered how to eat Slow in a fast-paced world — this episode is for you. 

Host & production: Valentina Gritti
