This talk examines food forests in the Kichwa community of Mulchi Yaku (Napo) as practices of sowing in the ruins of Amazonian extractivism. From the perspective of an irregular and fragmented Anthropocene, it argues that these agroforestry assemblages constitute community-based responses that regenerate soils, knowledge, and multispecies relations. In the face of mining, industrial fish farming, and urban expansion, food forests emerge as spaces of living labor, territorial autonomy, and the creation of life-supporting environments.
