Geographical distribution of quinoa crop wild relatives in the Peruvian Andes: a participatory mapping initiative

Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) was domesticated in the Bolivian and Peruvian Andean region around Lake Titicaca. In situ conservation systems for quinoa germplasm and its wild relatives can still be found in the traditional systems of Peruvian farming communities. Quinoa crop wild relatives (CWRs), like the majority of CWRs of other agricultural species, are being affected by the considerable changes in the natural landscapes of the Andes. This article analyzes the presence and distribution of seven quinoa CWRs at the agroecosystem level and considers the social and environmental Andean contexts in which they are found. A qualitative research method based on participatory mapping in six local communities of the Puno region in Peru was applied to establish the presence and distribution of the species. We present the results that were confirmed with local actors on participatory GIS maps. Based on our analyses, we conclude that conservation programs should consider both permanent native meadows and cultivated land with their fallow cycles and plot borders. The diversity of the presence of quinoa CWRs is one result of the coexistence of these two land uses.

Esta nota presenta ciertas premisas que el ecodesarrollo requiere en el caso de la Sierra del Peru; proponiendose ademas acciones interrelacionadas para iniciar un plan de ecodesarrollo agropecuario.

It was aimed to know the richness, how to use treated conditions, place of origin, distributions and source. We recorded 152 species into 45 families, the families more riches were Asteraceae with 36 species and Lamiaceae (12), species most frequently bought and sold in all markets were Muehlenbeckia volcanica (Benth.) Endl. "Mullaca" Perezia virens (D. Don) Hook. & Arn. "Valeriana", Matricaria recutita L. "Manzanilla" and Hypochaeris taraxacoides (Walp.) B. & H. "Pilli pilli", the herbaceous habit represent 75%,the total of the parts used, 81% correspond to the entire plant, the infusions or "mates calientes" with 69% of the mode of preparation and conditions treated most frequently were the bronchopulmonary, kidney and inflammations, liver and gastrointestinal ailments. Native species accounted for 83% of the total, these 78% are from the Andean region surrounding towns mainly Cusco department. We believe that this great wealth of medicinal plants expended in the markets of the city of Cusco is similar to other important records in Andean South American markets such as Bolivia and Ecuador, which in turn are rooted in ancient knowledge, mainly Quechua culture.
