Figure 11.1.1. A photo of an Andean agroecosystem during the long dry season shows how water limits food production in some parts of the Andes. This system is thus very vulnerable to drought shocks, and its vulnerability is compounded by shallow, eroded soils that result from cultivating sloped land. These soils store less water than under their original vegetation cover and are thus more vulnerable.
