A frontier model. An atlas.
Four thousand varieties. Eight hundred recorded. One atlas.
The native potato of Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia is not a vegetable. It is a record of altitude, of community, of patience. Antiari Papa is a quiet attempt to render that record with the seriousness it deserves.
Specimen study, custodian community of Acopía, Cusco
A note from the editors
The atlas does not invent. It compiles, with care, what already exists in the memory of the Andean communities and in the records of the International Potato Center in Lima.
Each variety is a long answer to a difficult question: how to feed a family at four thousand meters above the sea, year after year, when the frost is not a metaphor.
