    Abstract
    This article analyzes the effect of adaptive small-scale agricultural strategies in the Bolivian Altiplano region on local diet, market integration, and economic welfare. Farmers in this area are starting to produce non-indigenous varieties of potato and other products because they have higher market value. The long-term implications of these agricultural changes are uncertain, but researchers suggest that they are not sustainable and will exacerbate inequalities by causing the most disadvantaged people to become more vulnerable to climate change.
