Improving potato production for increased food security of indigenous communities in Colombia : final report

The yield of new potato cultivars is higher and their resistance to late blight contributes significantly to income, while reducing impacts of climate change, and increasing food security. The project built a baseline for food security in five municipalities, contributing to the formulation of future public policies in this field. We developed and released the "Manual de procesamiento y agroindustria de la papa", general information and research results regarding processing of yellow potato. We also published and released 1000 copies of the manual "Sabores y Saberes de las comunidades andinas nariñenses", a compilation of information regarding ancestral recipes and culinary uses
