![In the afternoon, after the women work in the fields, Ermelinda Ayme's sisters often come to visit her at her home in the village of Tingo, central Andes, Ecuador. (From the book Hungry Planet; What the World Eats. Ermelinda Ayme is also one of the 80 people featured with one day's food in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The women gossip, and nurse their babies, snacking on small potatoes and corn that has been parched and roasted. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 115). The Ayme family of Tingo, Ecuador, a village in the central Andes, is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks' worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.

![Ermelinda Ayme wraps her baby in two shawls tied in different directions as she cultivates potatoes with her husband Orlando in their village of Tingo, central Andes, Ecuador. (From the book Hungry Planet; What the World Eats (p. 117) Ermelinda Ayme is also one of the 80 people featured with one day's food in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) When she and her husband Orlando arrived at the field, a ten-minute walk from their home, they said a quick prayer to Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) before working the land. Occasionally, Ermelinda has to adjust the baby's position, but generally she has no problem carrying her tiny passenger.
