Description succincte
(Anglais)
The Andes high plateau is the centre of origin of many roots and tubers. These have been cultivated and improved since many centuries by the indigenous populations. Nonetheless, in recent years the cultivation of such traditional crops has been superseded by the use of species with higher yields and better market outlet. Another problem is the loss of landraces and wild relatives in the ex-situ collections. Overall, there is a loss of biodiversity, which impedes the use of valuable genetic resources for future improvement programs.
