Agricultural biodiversity to manage the risks and empower the poor. Proceedings of the International Conference 27-29 April 2015, Rome, Italy.
Crop diversity is central to traditional risk management practices on the Andean Altiplano and may find renewed importance in adapting to climate change. This study explored the role of crop diversity in farmers’ adaptation actions in eight Aymara communities on the northern Bolivian Altiplano. U...

Climate change and crop diversity: farmers’ perceptions and adaptation on the Bolivian Altiplano
Traditional vegetables are key assets for supporting more nutrition-sensitive agriculture under climate change as many have lower water requirements, adaptation to poor quality soils, higher resistance to pests and diseases, and higher nutritional values as compared to global vegetables. The effe...

Issues and prospects for the sustainable use and conservation of cultivated vegetable diversity for more nutrition-sensitive agriculture
Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) is an interesting option for adapting bean production to climate change in Guatemala. Tepary bean is a well-adapted to arid conditions, exhibiting a high level of drought, heat, and cold tolerance and it is known to outperform common bean in hot environments. T...
