Peru’s Real treasures? My friend Delia Ackerman makes wonderful documentaries about the conservation of nature, culture and memory. I have been helping with her most recent project, “Hatun Pajcha: The Healing Land” which takes the audience through the culturally and biologically diverse regions of Peru to highlight the remarkable health benefits and nutritional value of foods that are often unknown or overlooked. Viewers will meet hardworking farmers, committed “guardians” of many species, dedicated scientists, creative chefs and nutritionists, and enthusiastic entrepreneurs.
I invite you to visit indiegogo, and sign up so that you will receive updates on the film, tantalizing tidbits about research into Peruvian “superfoods” and introductions to the people who bring them to tables around the world! http://ow.ly/nvLX301P2e4

Francisca Bayona Pacco, 37,ist Papa Arariwa in der Bauerngemeinde Paru Paru in Pisac, Cusco, Peru. Gemeinsam mit Ricardo und Faustino Pacco, zwei gewaehlten Autoritaeten de Kartoffelparkes, pfluegt sie die Erde. Dabei darf nur die Frau die geoeffnete Erde anfassen, die Maenner bedienen den traditionellen Grabstock, der heute noch in den steilen, felsigen und engen Berghaengen ueblich ist.
