Aunque copia del festival espa\u00f1ol de la Tomatina (que se desarrolla en Bu\u00f1ol), en la localidad de Sutamarch\u00e1n, departamento de Boyac\u00e1, en el norte de Colombia, se desarrolla la d\u00e9cimo quinta edici\u00f3n del festival de lanzamiento de tomates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La fiesta de los tomates en Colombia incluye cabalgatas, desfiles, carrozas, m\u00fasica y artesan\u00edas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La fiesta acaba con el lanzamiento de tomates no aptos para el consumo humano, desechos de los cultivos, en medio de sonrisas de los participantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuera de consumo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heinner Su\u00e1rez Su\u00e1rez, presidente y fundador del festival, explic\u00f3 en di\u00e1logo con La FM, que los tomates utilizados no son aptos para el consumo humano. Provienen de la recolecci\u00f3n realizada por campesinos y voluntarios una semana antes del evento, en los invernaderos locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDe cada 20 cajas de tomate que recoge el productor, una o dos est\u00e1n da\u00f1adas. Esos tomates no se venden ni se consumen\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3 Su\u00e1rez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ambientalismo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se trata de tomates pasados de maduraci\u00f3n, golpeados o en mal estado, que de no ser retirados podr\u00edan contaminar el suelo, el agua y el ambiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRecoger estos tomates no solo garantiza la diversi\u00f3n, tambi\u00e9n es un ejercicio de responsabilidad ambiental [\u2026]. Si se dejan en el invernadero, contaminan el entorno. Por eso los recolectamos y los destinamos a la Tomatina\u201d, asever\u00f3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
