My ancestors the Guarani were characterized as being very good farmers of the land, they cultivated all their food among them Cassava, also can be known as "cassava, cassava, tapioca, guacamot"

My passion for agriculture began as an 8-year-old child. At that time I lived in a rural suburb of large areas. My father and my grandparents were country people, they were very familiar with the origins of sowing.

The work of agriculture was to prepare the land for planting, we planted corn, manioc, squash, tomatoes, peppers, different vegetables and vegetables, today I want to share with you all the manual process that we carried out with my grandmother and my mother in planting cassava. This procedure is called an organic procedure because no fertilizer or pesticide is used. Only hangover or cow dung.
