Peru's Andean livestock system is highly heterogeneous structurally, with a predominance of small producers, low productivity and limited access to technical services, which requires differentiated policies by type of producer (Quispe et al., 2022).
Of the 6,000 plant species humans have eaten over time, the world now mostly eats nine, of which just three—rice, wheat and maize—provide 50% of all calories.
