Goals / Objectives
1) Convene experts to address issues in conservation and use of Andean crops, including obstacles to exchange of genetic resources between countries. 2) Facilitate the exchange of information on conservation, management and use of Andean crops between scientists, technical personnel, farmers, and business people.
Project Methods
The 12th International Congress on Andean Crops (CICA DOCE) will take place in Quito, Ecuador July 24-27, 2006. Oral and poster presentations will cover many topics, including conservation of genetic resources, plant breeding, production, human nutrition, marketing and policy issues.
