In addition to pumpkin flowers, a wide variety of
wild flowers grow among the Milpas that serve as
food for pollinator species important for the growth
of the edible varieties such as bees and beetles.

This photo belongs to the project Gardens of
chaos: the extinction of food; a visual research that
explores crop loss and related impacts of climate
change in native maize and Milpa agriculture in
Mexico and the challenges faced by small-scale
farmers. This collaborative project in dialogue with
peasant and indigenous communities highlights the
Milpas and as a positive solution that can mitigate
food insecurity because of climate vulnerability in
the region.
