<p>Las misiones que la Compañía de Jesús fundó entre los guaraníes durante los siglos XVII y<br />XVIII han sido estudiadas desde diversas disciplinas. Este escrito centra su atención en las intervenciones e investigaciones llevadas adelante desde la Arqueología. Presentamos una revisión crítica de lo ocurrido en los países que albergan vestigios de origen jesuítico-guaraní, con especial énfasis en los conjuntos emplazados en la provincia de Misiones (Argentina). Esta sistematización abarca desde las primeras incursiones arqueológicas hasta los recientes trabajos llevados a cabo no sólo en las antiguas misiones sino también en los restos del entramado existente entre los pueblos, adoptando una perspectiva territorial.<br />Discutimos los avances logrados y las dificultades que se han presentado a lo largo del tiempo, para concluir con algunas consideraciones a futuro.</p>

“…Ilex paraguariensi 3,4 is a tree species native to the region, and is popularly known as "yerba mate 5,6 ", as the typical south American infusion called "mate 4 " is made from the processed dry leaves of this tree, a product called "yerba mate [3][4][5][6][7] . The creators of the modern version of this drink were the Jesuits [3][4][5][6][7] who, starting in 1609, built settlements throughout a vast territory that today is part of Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina 2,7 . They took it from the natives who consumed it in a simpler way and refined it.…”

“…The Jesuits domesticated the tree, established plantations, and developed the commercially viable product made from the dry leaves harvested from the tree 3 . In Argentina, most of the missions are in the province of Misiones (Map 1 1,2 ). In most of Paraguay and the south of Brazil the cleared jungle was converted to arable land used for annual cereals and oilseeds production.…”

The development of industrialized agriculture has met the need to feed a growing global population with higher quality foods, through increases in yields, productivity, and efficiency. However, agriculture is now a dominant force behind many environmental threats including excessive deforestation, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, chemical pollution, and contributions to greenhouse gasses and global warming. These externalities can no longer be ignored. Several agricultural movements arose as an alternative to the conventional farming paradigm, using various terms including “organic”, “biodynamic”, “ecological”, and “biological”. None has been capable of challenging the development trajectory of conventional agriculture, underpinned by simplification, specialisation, and increased inputs. As extreme climate events have become globally more common, a heightening of the level of public awareness about global warming and the relevance of ecosystem services provides an opportunity for change. All climate adaptation and mitigation strategies with a potential to have global impact are worth disseminating and discussing. Agroforestry, which is the intentional combination of trees and shrubs with crops or livestock, could be the next step in sustainable agriculture. This multifunctional approach for our food system, focusing on complexity, diversity, and recycling, mimicking nature’s functions, has the potential to sustain production while supporting a range of ecosystem services. For over two decades and a half we have committed heavily in the creation of the integrated agroforestry system we document here. The creation and continued leveraging of the system provide an example that it is possible to recover biodiversity and ecosystem services on lands previously eroded due to highly extractive exploitation. Collaborations with public extension agencies have helped in capacity building and public outreach to show how an economic activity can be strengthen by the recovery of natural complexity. We believe that our project and similar ones should be one type of strategy in the toolkit for meeting the 2030 biodiversity targets, e.g., as discussed in the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 15) Global Biodiversity Framework.
