In Spanish. Warmly inscribed & SIGNED by Alejandra Salamanca and one other participant on the title page. This book has been created in a participatory way with the different members of the Coquí community in Colombia. In its production process, different spaces have been generated to reflect on the importance of food, not only to generate self-sustaining economies, but also to strengthen territorial autonomy, cultural practices and environmental regeneration. In its stoves, spaces of alchemy are cooked where other possible futures are thought of and it connects with the legacy of the spirituality and wisdom of the ancestors. An important and scarce work.
