2019-3 First Harvest of Sacha Inchi.
Sacha inchi, Plukenetia volubilis, is a plant rich in proteins and omega vitamins. Due to the recent drought conditions and uncontrolled wildfires in the Sierra, many families face food shortages. If sacha inchi grows well in the Sierra it will be a great addition to the local diet, helping to mitigate the malnutrition and hunger that plague the area due to political and environmental changes. |
