The last of Mexico’s salt farmers preserve their ancestral tradition

Mexico is one of the top producers of salt in the world. Most of this production is done industrially, in large areas near the coast. But a handful of Indigenous salt makers are preserving an ancestral tradition of making artisanal salt that goes back 2,000 years. Michael Fox reports from the Oaxacan town of Zapotitlan Salinas that migration and climate change may spell the end of salt farming in Mexico.
