These are traditional ‘leader’ farmers in the Bolivian andes. They collect, create and share agroecological knowledge and risk management strategies in the local area. Blending ancestral knowledge with newly adopted practices, Yapuchiris experiment on their own land then teach other farmers and local organisations about their successes.

In this spirit YAPU provides flexible software solutions supporting the operational processes of institutions targeting smallholder farmers, microenterprises and small- and medium-sized enterprises.
