Mexico is the global center of tomato agrodiversity and hosts hundreds of varieties. These face new threats from climate change, commercial agriculture and loss of traditional knowledge. Join Gabriela Toledo and Jacob Phelps who will share the story about building transdisciplinary collaborations to characterise, protect and celebrate Mexico's tomato agrodiversity.
