Maíz, riqueza de México

Abstract

CORN MAY BE THE CROP WITH THE GREATEST DIVERSITY AND GENETIC POTENTIAL IN THE WORLD. ITS UNPARALLELED ABILITY TO ADAPT TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS, HIGH PRODUCTIVITY, AND WIDE RANGE OF USES MAKE IT TRULY EXCEPTIONAL. MEXICO'S CORN VARIETIES ARE THE PRODUCT OF A LONG AND INTIMATE COEVOLUTION. CORN NEEDS OUR ATTENTION TO MAINTAIN ITS CENTRAL, MATERIAL, AND SYMBOLIC PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY.
