ABSTRACT
This chapter poses some questions on globalized, standardized, and taken-for-granted notions on food, life, and the restlessness that occurs when discussing the present and futures of such topics. It explores a critical reading of debates on access–labor, scrutinization–sanitization, and productivity–entrepreneurship on food by looking at forgotten affective practices related to a series of "others": kinds of food, kinds of agriculture, ways of being nurtured, and the establishment of relations around such food practices economic relations in simultaneous pursuit of collective well-being and body–mind decolonizing. The central argument is that eating Peyote in Wirikuta is a multispecies act that situates the cactus as a companion species whose genetic properties trigger affections that have invited those humans interested in preserving the area from extraction to become "nomads". The chapter considers actors in Wirikuta to be the mobile/mutable/multispecies centers around which diverse movements, territorialization practices, and social actions are created.
