Most literature, policies and practises related to agricultural development are embedded in a Western worldview and ignore alternative cosmovisions, particularly those held by indigenous peoples. The relevance and importance of Andean cosmology to both rural development and the conservation of agricultural biodiversity is highlighted in this article, which explores the agri-culture of the Aymaran and Quechuan peoples of the Peruvian Andes. Here the seed is treated with the utmost dignity and respect and is considered an integral part of the whole community.
