MAPP Oral History Collection - Our growing archive of multilingual interviews with North Texas community members involved in food and agriculture preserves valuable knowledge about regional foodways while identifying community needs and interests. These recorded conversations capture the voices of local farmers, gardeners, chefs, food entrepreneurs, and community advocates who are shaping our regional food system. Through these interviews, we document traditional agricultural practices, explore changing relationships with land and food, and highlight innovative approaches to sustainable food production in North Texas. The collection serves as both a historical repository and a living resource for researchers, students, and community members interested in the rich tapestry of agricultural knowledge in our region.
