Last Monday, October 20, within the framework of World Food Day, we held the virtual conversation “Maize as a bridge: knowledge, territories, and diversity,” to share the trajectory of Amancay maize and relaunch the work of the Maize Growers Network (Red de Maiceros). More than 30 producers, technicians, researchers, students, and organizations linked to seed development and production participated, forming a diverse space for exchange and collective reflection.Participaron más de 30 productores, técnicos, investigadores, estudiantes y organizaciones vinculadas al desarrollo de semillas y la producción, conformando un espacio diverso de intercambio y reflexión colectiva.

During this campaign, we collaboratively carried out a participatory corn evaluation network, with trials distributed in Junín, Entre Ríos, and southeastern Córdoba. The network seeks to generate collective knowledge about the behavior of different corn varieties, focusing on materials developed by farmers and non-transgenic hybrids of interest for organic and agroecological production systems.
