    The #milpa (a food garden based around maize crops that relies on ancestral techniques), the community kitchen, and assembly halls are places of learning for people of all ages in the #Yucatán Peninsula, in southern Mexico.

  8. Los otros días veía la noticia de milpamerica y me pareció muy copado hasta que vi que es un pixelfeed... y bueno nada... no son ellos, soy yo
    No me terminó nunca de agradar una red social basada en la imagen... quizá milpa sea algo que cambie eso?
    No lo sé... tampoco me doy cabalmente cuenta cómo podría yo intentar lograr seguir algo de allí, ya que no se muestran los contenidos parece, o no hay tantos tampoco...
    En fin, quizá tiempo al tiempo... y aguante la #milpa y otras tantas formas de simbiosis, unión

  10. The power of teamwork 💪🏻

    Scientists are teasing out the benefits of #intercropping, but getting the right mix of plants is key: "monocultures enjoy less protection from herbivores than pairs or trios of crops, and those mixed plantings may therefore be more productive".

  12. I keep thinking about a recent article in Nature by Talhelm and Dong that appears to confirm the theory that the staple crops (in this case wheat versus rice) can influence collectivistic cultural tendencies.

    In particular, it makes me wonder how the #milpa impacted Indigenous North American cultures. A milpa is a #Native agroecological system largely centered around growing corn, beans and squash in the same field. It is intense, highly productive and also provides a complete and healthy diet in a very small amount of land.

    I suspect that milpas lead to even more individualistic tendencies, which could explain the large linguistic and cultural diversity of North America and how it led to dense urban societies so quickly.

  14. Et donc voilà à quoi ressemble le #jardin des faunes en cette fin juin :
    Les oignons, le haricot-maïs (en #milpa avec) les courges butternut se portent plutôt bien. Ouf

  15. #Garden update #thread

    By comparison, not everything I planted was #milpa style. There are a few zones of more "traditional" plantings of things like #radish and #cabbage. These are not doing as well, though there is still hope for some success with the cabbage and lettuce.

    This is the second area we planted of #milpa. Doing super well. In the last picture you can even see the mix out-competing a dock plant!

  19. “Based on the agronomy of the Maya and of other Mesoamerican peoples, the #milpa system is used to produce crops of maize, beans, and squash without employing artificial pesticides and artificial fertilizers.”
    “A milpa is a field, usually but not always recently cleared, in which farmers plant a dozen crops at once […] Milpa crops are nutritionally and environmentally complementary.”

    These are just some close-ups of the second milpa planting.

    I'll post a more wide-angle shot when I finally get the whole thing planted.

  22. Corn is the one of the Three Sisters, the core of the #milpa, the #Indigenous form of #veganic #permaculture native to North America. Learn about its history in this video.

  23. Je viens de mettre en place la méthode des trois soeurs au fond du potager : association courge-haricot-maïs dans la milpa amérindienne. J'y ai ajouté une structure en bambou au cas ou les maïs ne seraient pas assez costauds pour supporter les haricot rames #Permaculture #Milpa
