Abstract

This study investigates innovative potato seed systems in the Andes, emphasizing the roles of Agro-biodiversity and farmer engagement. The Andean region is home to a rich variety of potato species, which are crucial for enhancing resilience against climate change and biotic stresses. By fostering collaboration between local farmers, researchers, and agricultural institutions, we explore how traditional practices and local knowledge can be integrated into modern seed systems. Our findings reveal that such participatory approaches not only improve seed quality and yield but also empower farmers and strengthen community ties. The research highlights the importance of Agrobiodiversity in ensuring sustainable agricultural practices and food security in the Andes, offering a model for similar initiatives in other regions.
