museums in london Science Bulletins: Potato Biodiversity—Ensuring the Future

Farmers in the Andes use biodiversity as insurance. The potato, a plant native to the area that is now the world's fourth most important staple crop, is still locally grown in thousands of varieties. With help from Lima's International Potato Center, Andean farmers are preserving potato diversity to protect this critical food source against threats like pests and diseases, weather extremes, and climate change.

Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.
