Manejo productivo y uso de maíces locales en la precordillera de la región de Arica y Parinacota

Maize has been one of the most important crops in the foothills of the Arica and Parinacota region. Its current management and development, based on traditional practices, without significant interventions and with the least negative impact on the environment, evidence the conservation of very important agricultural germplasm by local farmers, custodians of their seeds and those who have incorporated this crop as an essential part of their life, through its daily use and in activities typical of the culture of northern Chile.
