Zusammenfassung:In Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador informal potato seed systems are much more important than formal systems. National seed projects recognize complementarities between the two systems and are seeking to link them. Arguments used to underpin linkages are assessed in the light of available evidence and accepted with some reservation.
