			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Latino communities in Southern Minnesot and around the country are full of experiences and knowledge that if appreciated can help our common interest. Just as many other cultures we come from places that still hold ancient traditions that have held with the passage of time.</p>
<p>I heard today of the <a href="http://www.goldmanprize.org/2008/northamerica" target="_blank">Goldman Environmental Price</a>, given to Jesús León Santos of Mexico. Read his story, if you <a href="http://thestory.org/archive/the_story_824_The_Fight_To_Farm.mp3/view" target="_blank">listed to my own story on The Story</a>, you will see that my story isn&#8217;t really just one, there are millions of us who can contribute greatly to the sustainability of this country&#8217;s food and agriculture system.</p>
<p>Here is a quote from his award that illustrates my point “It is time we recognize that traditional agricultural methods can make strong contributions to biodiversity conservation. We should encourage it and value it as a way to produce healthy foods that conserve and care for the environment.”</p>
