In this second year of the Hãmhi|Terra Viva project, agroforestry agents and nursery workers begin to develop their research, guided by Tikmũ'ũn knowledge systems.

For the Tikmũ'ũn, one of the paths of research is to ask the Earth, a collective movement between multiple beings, knowledge, and practices that meet and renew relationships of care for the return of the forest with its diverse beings.

Led by professors Vanessa Tomaz and Paula Gobetti at TI Maxakali, this training through research in Hãmhi presents itself as an important path to combine traditional Tikumũ'ũn knowledge with the principles of agroecology in environmental recovery and the reconquest of food sovereignty.
