Hi! I am Mariana Favela, I am passionate about the history of food and nutrition, I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Science (2016). My research focuses on the intersection between the history of knowledge and the role of women in the development of technologies, with particular interests in the history of food, the city and contemporary practices of political organization around food. I work from a feminist, anti-racist and anti-colonial perspective.

I am editor at Pochote Press publishing house in Oaxaca City, and co-founder of the deindustrialized kitchen, Hierba Dulce (2017). I have been part of the Red de feminismos descoloniales since 2008

Hi! I am José Eduardo Rojas, I am a oaxacan plant based cook. I experiment with traditional and contemporary oaxacan food. Since 2017 we developed a deindustrialized kitchen with locally produced foods and supporting agroecological producers networks. Lately we began harvesting our own food  in  our urban orchard, Casa Hierba. We plant native corn and other endemic ingredients. I love to experiment with different fermentation technics. 

I am a co-founder of the deindustrialized kitchen, Hierba Dulce (2017)
