Temporadas - Para La Naturaleza

TEMPORADAS

Puerto Rico is well known for its all-year-round warm tropical climate, but as we look closer, we can find an endless number of seasons that go unnoticed. The importance of these seasons lies in their connection with the geography of the Puerto Rican archipelago and their relevance in the processes of production, harvest, and consumption of food. In the face of climate change, recognizing our seasons and supporting regenerative agriculture is now more important than ever.

As we learn more about these changes and the effects they have on the island, we understand more about its processes to make better decisions for the health of our ecosystems and our own well-being. To make it possible for families and communities to learn more about this subject we must first open up a conversation, and what better place to do this than the dining table.

Temporadas is an annual culinary and educational event where donors and participants are able to explore an agroecological approach through food in support of Puerto Rico's farmers and its agricultural communities. An in-person dinner and a virtual cooking experience, where participants can enjoy a delicious menu crafted by a group of talented local chefs that make use of a selected list of four in-season ingredients while learning about the benefits of consuming locally produced food and how this affects the growth of Puerto Rico's sustainable agriculture.
