Native maize, the inhabitant of Mexico City who resists eviction

Mexico City is one of the most populated in the world. In the imagination, their territory is mostly grey, noisy, crowded and suddenly hostile.

The real estate development of the city is eating up the green spaces, but in the southern outskirts of the city peasant life still resists.

In the southern municipalities of Mexico City, 3,733 tons of native maize are still produced annually.

Growing maize is not easy, we must defend the seed from the transgenic threat, from water problems, from urban growth.
