Abstract

El esfuerzo del científico Moisés Santiago Bertoni por sistematizar parte de la riqueza que
tiene el Paraguay, se refleja en la Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, (Ka’a He’ê), una planta que
hace parte de la identidad como nación, pero que al mismo tiempo, luego de un siglo,
sigue siendo promisoria como elemento fundamental para la implementación de un
modelo de desarrollo sostenible en áreas rurales.
