Highlighting Women in Agave

by University of Arizona W.A. Franke Honors Students: Hailey, Elaine, Jeciana, Madison, and Sophie

Students highlight the role of women in agave through interviews from the University of Arizona, Next Generation of Sonoran Desert Researchers, and Agave Heritage Festival collaboration archives!

They review archival interviews that trace the past, present, and future of agave, highlighting women’s early contributions and lasting influence in the field. This student project reflects on how womens’ roles have evolved and considers the future of the agave industry and how consumers can support it responsibly.
