    The document discusses potato diversity in the Andean region of South America, which is the center of crop domestication for potatoes. It notes that the Andes contain over 4,000 varieties of native potatoes, but that many of these are threatened by loss of traditional agricultural practices and habitat destruction. The authors studied potato diversity across different elevations in Peru and found the greatest diversity at intermediate elevations, and argue for conservation efforts to preserve this valuable crop diversity and traditional agricultural knowledge.
