A talk with Gary Paul Nabhan, Arab-American writer and food and farming advocate. Nabhan spoke at a fundraising event to support opportunities for undergraduate English majors at Arizona State University. "Seeding the Future" is sponsored by ASU's Department of English in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, to benefit students majoring in English by funding opportunities for research, presentations, and travel during their undergraduate experience at ASU. Nabhan is the author of "Where Our Food Comes From," “Renewing America's Food Traditions: Saving and Savoring the Continent's Most Endangered Foods,” “Arab/American: Landscape, Culture, and Cuisine in Two Great Deserts,” and more. He is perhaps best known in the southwest for his 1982 book, “The Desert Smells Like Rain.”
