“Early introduction of baby food, it’s not for nutrition. It’s for palate development,” said Bentley. However, “The way that baby food manufacturers made baby food was what I call very well acclimated to an industrial palate – so smooth texture, on the bland side, not spicy, not pungent, with a sweet profile.”

Zachariah and Mary Ben were struck by the absence of fresh, local and traditional baby foods available near the Navajo Nation in New Mexico, so they began growing their own crops

In north-eastern New Mexico, traditional Indigenous farming methods are being passed down to protect against the effects of climate crisis
