This beautifully produced, 11-minute video from American Rivers explores the thoughts of three visionaries in Tucson who are creating and growing a circular economy of water, forging a sustainable future for a city that could have gone in another direction:
- Third-generation farmer Brian Wong of BKW Farms, who grows a variety of low-water and heat tolerant organic heritage wheat in the arid plains northwest of Tucson.
- Don Guerra of Barrio Bread, who bakes 1,000 loaves of artisanal bread per day using local and indigenous wheat varieties.
- Tim Thomure, director of Tucson Water — a visionary working to build and sustain a thriving city in the Sonoran Desert. Tim talks about Tucson’s challenges learning to manage its CAP supply.
