Knowledge and Experience Exchange with the Spiritual Park of Keros in Peru
Farmers, agronomists, entrepreneurs, and researchers in the field of potato cultivation, as well as producers and sellers of fertilizers and plant protection products, are increasingly interested in traditional knowledge and practices. In this context, the experience of the Association of Communities of the Potato Park in Peru represents an important and valuable source of information.
Special attention is given to the process of preparing traditional products such as chuño and moraya. Chuño is dried potato that can be stored for years, and moraya is fermented and frozen potato. These products are an integral part of Andean culture and traditional cuisine.
The exchange of experiences is not limited to agronomic and culinary aspects. Representatives of the Potato Park also study and transmit spiritual knowledge accumulated by Andean priests. This interaction not only improves agricultural practices but also strengthens cultural and spiritual ties between different communities.
The knowledge exchange initiative between the Potato Park and the Keros Park demonstrates the importance of integrating traditional knowledge into modern agricultural practices. This approach can lead to the creation of more sustainable and environmentally friendly potato cultivation methods, which is especially relevant in the context of global climate change.
Preserving and disseminating traditional knowledge related to potato cultivation is an important step towards the sustainable development of agriculture. The experience of the Andean Potato Park can serve as a useful guide for specialists working in this field and inspire the implementation of innovative methods based on centuries-old traditions.
