The Guaraní Indigenous community of 16 de Marzo-Cordillera is now integrated into the agroindustry, which dominates the area around its territory. Soybean, sorghum or sunflower production covers most of the community’s surface. The people there tell us how they used to have gardens that allowed them to eat and sell what was left over. “Only a few still plant for food”, “meals have changed, and people no longer grow food for themselves”, they tell us. The few orchards that remain have a wide variety of plants, including papaya, plantain, peppers, bell peppers, cassava, sweet potato, among others.
