“…Farmers primarily grow native potatoes on communal land and may share or trade tools, labor, and seed, maintaining a tradition of reciprocity that is rare in urban areas. Outmigration and greater integration with urban economies are changing rural communities, contributing to the erosion of traditional social norms and life strategies, as well as changes in gender roles, relations, and division of labor [19,42,78]. The migration of men has forced many women to take greater responsibility for agricultural production, increasing their workload, but this has also weakened social norms that traditionally restricted women's options, which could enhance their agency in decision-making and facilitate empowerment.…”

Crop diversity contributes to yield stability and nutrition security and is valued for its potential use in breeding improved varieties and adaptation to future climates. Women across the globe contribute to biodiversity conservation, and, in the Central Andes region, the cradle of potato diversity, rural women play a vital role in the management of a wealth of native potato diversity. To examine how gender roles and traditions influence the agricultural and conservation practices of male and female custodians of native potato diversity, we undertook a qualitative study in eight farming communities high in the Andes, in the Pasco region of Peru. This article reviews agricultural and crop diversity management practices, farmer motivations for conserving potato diversity, the role that agrobiodiversity plays in family diets and economies, and support of in situ conservation by external actors. It examines how gender norms limit the potential of women to fully benefit from the crop and argues for more gender-responsive approaches that empower both women and men, enable women to overcome barriers, and contribute to a more inclusive, community-based management of agrobiodiversity that ensures its long-term conservation and contribution to community development and well-being.

“…Dada la importancia de la agricultura de papa en la región (Valdivia et al, 2015), este estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar la aptitud agroecológica del territorio de Apurímac para el cultivo de papa. Para lo cual, primero, se identificaron los criterios y sus umbrales de aptitud para el cultivo de papa, segundo, se generaron los mapas de los criterios, y tercero, se generó el mapa de territorio potencial para el cultivo de papa al superponer los mapas de criterios.…”

La expansión de un cultivo resaltante demanda la evaluación de la aptitud del territorio. Dada la importancia del cultivo de papa en Apurímac, se seleccionaron seis criterios (temperatura media, precipitación anual, elevación, pendiente del terreno, cobertura y uso del suelo, y pH del suelo) para evaluar la aptitud agroecológica del territorio; para lo cual, se establecieron los umbrales de aptitud de los criterios, y se generaron sus respectivos mapas. También, basado en consulta a expertos y el Proceso de Jerarquía Analítica, se sopesó la importancia de los criterios. Luego, se generó el mapa de aptitud del territorio para el cultivo de papa mediante superposición ponderada de los mapas de criterios. La temperatura fue el criterio más importante para el cultivo de papa, mientras que, la pendiente del terreno fue el menos importante. En Apurímac, el 2,4 % (505.18 km2) del territorio presentó aptitud ‘Altamente adecuada’ para el cultivo de papa. A nivel de provincias, Chincheros (303.40 km2), Andahuaylas (81.75 km2) y Aymares (72.80 km2) presentan las mayores superficies con aptitud ‘Altamente adecuada’. El estudio brindará apoyo para la toma de decisiones en torno a la expansión agrícola de papa y el ordenamiento territorial en Apurímac.
