A few years back, one of our good friends, Dr. Eric Jones, asked me to attend a conference in Tuscon about sustainabile Agriculture in the Southwest. I got done with the meeting and did not give it a great deal of thought. I have talked about the land use policy in the southwest for more than a dozen years. From Washington D.C. to Portland Oregon, I have attended conferences and given presentation. Most of the time, I am exhausted and left wondering, why I left home. At that conference, I met Dr. Gary Nabahm, and he followed up with me, helping to get the Jumbo Soft shell pine nut listed in the Slow Food Ark. It is a process and there are several stages to being awarded the "Slow Food Ark" status. I was grateful for that work. Today, I happened to see that he did more than that.He wrote about Great Basin Pine Nut and Goods From The Wood's efforts in his book,   The book is entitled:

Renewing America's Food Traditions: Saving and

 Savoring the Continent's Most Endangered Foods
