Devon Peña, Founder & President of Acequia Institute: Resilient Agriculture, Water Democracy and Environmental Justice

Our guest today is, Devon G. Peña the Founder and President of the Acequia Institute, a non-profit grant-making foundation dedicated to supporting environmental and food justice. The Institute is based on a 181-acre acequia farm in Viejo San Acacio, CO, situated on the ancestral lands and waters of the Nuchu, Dinè, Tewa, and Genizaro peoples.
Established in 2006, the Acequia Institute focuses on the protection and preservation of acequia farming communities in the Upper Rio Grande region. Its key areas of focus include Water Democracy, Resilient Agriculture, and Environmental Justice.
HealthCare UnTold celebrates Devon as a national treasure. As a farmer, seed-saver, plant-breeder, and philanthropist, he works tirelessly to conserve ancient foods and create Solidarity Economies with local creators. His efforts aim to improve his community health and wealth and to honor the beauty of ancestral food and growing practices. The work of the Acequia Institute is a gift to us all. Gracias to the Acequia Institute and Devon Pena!
