La chakra andina
It is a traditional Andean agricultural system based on crop diversity, the sustainable use of natural resources, and ancestral knowledge. It incorporates efficient water management practices that support soil conservation, water regulation, and resilience to drought. In addition, the cultivation of different crops within the same plot enhances food security and biodiversity.
