These rapid changes in elevation result in varied climates throughout the entire country, which helps to create differing economies and lifestyles. Mexico is a biodiverse country, home to almost 30,000 species of plants-2,000 or so of which are edible.Due to the different climates, Mexico has various types of cuisine, with each region utilizing the resources from its unique environment to create a mezcla (mix) of seasonal local ingredients and imported agricultural practices"--.
