dc.descriptionEnsuring the sustainability of food systems is imperative, and agroecology, with its emphasis on increasing agrobiodiversity within seed systems, emerges as a crucial approach. However, influential groups strongly promote an emphasis on improved varieties and certified seeds. This article aims to increase the portfolio of options of seed systems interventions by presenting the recent developments in enhancing agrobiodiversity to make potato seed systems in the Andes more robust. We reviewed the literature on this subject, and the results show different innovative seed initiatives taking place in the Andes. These initiatives encompass, for example, capacity-building for regional seed custodian networks, fostering stronger ties between rural schools and local agrobiodiversity knowledge, and the implementation of payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services. We expect that this article shows new strategies to strengthen seed systems through the engagement of farmers and the conservation and use of agrobiodiversity.
