dc.description.abstractFarmers, breeders and scientists collaborated on the development and selection of three new varieties of yellow potatoes (Criolla Ocarina, Criolla Sua Pa and Criolla Dorada) with higher nutritional content, increased resistance to late blight disease, and higher yields. Building local capacity has been key to the project’s sustainability. This includes a sustainable business model for local production; availability of high-quality seeds which increase crop yields for farmers, as well as creating new jobs and improving the health of Colombian consumers. The project’s Shagras para la vida strategy strengthened a communal ancestral relationship with the land and food production.en
