"Los cultivos de raíces y tubérculos serán un componente vital del sistema alimentario global en el mundo hacia 2020" (Scott et al., 2000); más de dos mil millones de habitantes de Asia, África y Latinoamérica dependerán de esos cultivos para alimentarse y generar ingresos. Por ello, el conocimiento y aprovechamiento de tuberosas como el yacón son importantes para la seguridad alimentaria y como aporte a la sostenibilidad del frágil ecosistema montañoso andino (Pastor, 2004). Esta obra pretende motivar a la comunidad investigativa del país, a los nuevos profesionales del agro y a un gran número de productores a la búsqueda de alternativas innovadoras y de la industrialización del yacón. A través de algunas experiencias de producción agrícola se demuestra la adaptabilidad y facilidad de manejo de esta planta para su transformación en alimento funcional y sus posibilidades de uso en la nutrición animal, que pueden significar un gran aporte al sector rural andino.
