Este ensayo tiene como propósito principal dar a conocer la relevancia de la festividad del Muyu Raymi, una iniciativa de resiliencia agrícola. Para ello, en un primer momento, se hará una breve contextualización que permitirá entender la fiesta en el marco de una realidad climática, social y política particular. Luego, se describirá el Muyu Raymi enfocando tres ejes fundamentales: la agrobiodiversidad, las mujeres y la identidad. Este ensayo se nutre de conversaciones, opiniones y experiencias vividas en el marco del Muyu Raymi que se llevó acabo el 13 de agosto del 2016.

Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is an oilseed with potential for use as a raw material in second-generation biofuels. Camelina has a seed yield of up to 2380 kg ha-1 and contains around 45% fatty acids. Selection of a suitable site is critical for production optimization. The objective of this study was to determine Chilean agro-climatic suitability for establishing camelina as a productive alternative.
