🌍✨ A group of engineering students from Virginia Tech has just landed in Peru, where they’ll spend the next 10 days contributing their skills to infrastructure projects at the incredible Potato Park — a unique biocultural reserve high in the Andes that protects native potato biodiversity and supports Quechua farming communities. 🌱🛠️ Through hands-on collaboration, they’ll be supporting sustainable development while learning from local knowledge keepers who steward one of the world’s most important centers of agricultural heritage. Stay tuned for updates from the field.
