Maryluz Contreras of Colpar in central Peru is sharing her knowledge about potatoes with the project team. In the fields near her home, project staff have planted two kinds of potatoes and are asking community members like Maryluz to select their preferred potato. Photo: Michael Major for Crop Trust

Farmers from Colpar in central Peru share their preferences for potatoes with researchers from the International Potato Center and Grupo Yanapai. Ultimately, the farmers will decide which potato varieties they plant in their fields so researchers are eager to get them involved early on in the selection process.
