Comment: Sir.
Even when the narrative that makes Lucy Conger of the efforts of Peruvian farmers to continue planting and harvesting potatoes, is somewhat idealistic, obviating the harsh life that have campecinos to 3600 meters above sea level, without much variety of foods Without sanitary facilities, without any form of communication, without roads or telecommunications, schools, etc., what is most troubling of this story is that an enormous extension of arable land on the coast of Peru and in the jungle, which are being devoted to plant alien species to produce fuel, displacing native plants that for thousands of years kept the ecosystem of the area. It is imperative that developed countries take a firm decision not to buy or use combustibes obtained in land where native crops have been displaced to get bio fuel.
