The "Research and Training Programme on Andean Agroecological Systems", in partnership with the McKnight Foundation and the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO, for its acronym in Spanish), aims to promote knowledge, training, and participatory research on family farming practices; while considering to integrate agroecological principles into agricultural and systems management in the high mountains of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. As part of this training, participants engage in a Community of Practice (CoP), a space for exchange and inter-learning between members of different community programs. The CoP aims to share the results of research, insights, experiences and identify opportunities and synergies among different programs and projects.
