Aroma Colorado

Mensch, Julia; Volkart, Yvonne; Raemy, Dominique
This essay explores the intelligence and political agency of amaranth, based on my fieldwork in Argentina and my coexistence with, and close observation of, its vegetal behavior. Also known as kiwicha, aroma, and colorado, amaranth is an ancestral plant redefined by the transgenic model as a resistant weed. Through its development of mechanisms to resist the agrochemicals used in genetically modified crop production, it transforms the landscape of soybean monoculture and disrupts the homogeneity that capital purports to achieve.
