Summary

While farming in high-Andean Bolivian populations faces severe challenges due to climate change, understanding and support of both innovation adoption and innovation marketability is very poor, leading to low yields and limited trade in traditional farming systems. Through urgently needed research in, and co-creation with communities, our multi-stakeholder project will address climate change and barriers to increase sustainable innovation, market insertion and socio-ecological resilience.
