Our Coming Food Crisis
By GARY PAUL NABHAN
Published: July 21, 2013

TUCSON, Ariz. -- THIS summer the tiny town of Furnace Creek, Calif., may
once again grace the nation’s front pages. Situated in Death Valley, it
last made news in 1913, when it set the record for the world’s hottest
recorded temperature, at 134 degrees. With the heat wave currently
blanketing the Western states, and given that the mercury there has already
reached 130 degrees, the news media is awash in speculation that Furnace
Creek could soon break its own mark.

An op-ed by Gary Paul Nabhan with a mention of the important role of native
plant/seed as part of the solution toward the end! See the link above for
the full op-ed text.
