Abstract

Native potatoes grow better in the highest altitude of the Andes, where small, semi-commercial farmers predominate. These farmers possess a deep knowledge of native potatoes and the most suitable cultivation methods for them in their native environment. Native potatoes do not grow as well at lower altitudes, where more commercially-oriented farmers grow modern varieties and employ more industrial inputs.
