Hello S. Well I realized that despite the Agave plant being part of my remembrances of the Mexican Landscape, I knew quite a few things about it. So I started reading from basic Wikipedia stuff to some books written in 1864). Some lectures are quite consfusing cause they have prehispanic terms, but I manage to sumarize the most important things from them. The project competition has a big range of possibilities, starting from the fact that the Agave has so many variations and uses according to time and region. Another issue is the selection of the plot location, as the Agave species, it is a huge range to choose but I would like to discuss some ideas after you read the annotations that I made. I will attach those in order for you to give a look to them.
