La Doce Barrio Foodways is a collaboration of the south-side community group Tierra y Libertad Organization, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, the Southwest Folklife Alliance based at the University of Arizona and the city of Tucson. La Doce is the commercial corridor of South 12th Avenue and its adjoining neighborhoods, and it was the focus of the small band of enthusiastic collaborators in the past year.

La Doce project engaged residents, business owners and students to learn about sustaining and strengthening the barrios along South 12th Avenue, identifying and increasing food resources such as home and community gardens, and developing ideas for future endeavors
