Description
My name is Virginia Zenteno, I am 65 years old, I live alone in my house, although I am part of a collective project with 4 friends, of which only 1 lives permanently in Chiloé. I am an agronomist, I have 2 adult children and 6 years ago, I came to the Island of Chiloé from Santiago. This decision is part of a life project, where I want to make a contribution to the care of nature and local development. I participate in a work cooperative that promotes cooperation and agroecological production. My land has a very irregular topography and therefore is mostly covered by native forest renewal. I have a small outdoor garden, I also grow berries on a small surface. There are several ancient apple trees on the land that I am trying to recover.

Mi nombre es Virginia Zenteno, tengo 65 años, vivo sola en mi casa, aunque soy parte de un proyecto colectivo con 4 amigos, de los cuales solo 1 vive en forma permanente en Chiloé. Soy agrónoma, tengo 2 hijos adultos y hace 6 años, me vine a la Isla de Chiloé desde Santiago. Esta desición es parte de un proyecto de vida, donde quiero realizar un aporte en el cuidado de la naturaleza y el desarrollo local. Participo en una cooperativa de trabajo que promueve la cooperación y la producción agroecológica. Mi terreno tiene una topografía muy irregular y por lo tanto esta mayoritariamente cubierto por un renoval de bosque nativo. Tengo una pequeña huerta al aire libre, tambien cultivo berries en pequeña superficie. En el terreno ha varios manzanos antiguos que estoy tratando de recuperar.
