The women potato farmers in the Andean region are incredible. They've protected over 4K varieties of potatoes in fields at extremely high altitudes from frost and pests, all while juggling the many other jobs that women do in a day. @Harvest2050_MZ

Uganda produces 800,000 metric tonnes of #potato 🥔 annually, but it could be four times higher.

While working to ensure they use the good agronomic practices, @Cipotato and @narouganda are working to ensure the right varieties get to farmers in time.
