Rural Amazonian communities affected by coca crop eradication policies, local leaders, and organizations seeking alternatives to aerial spraying.

Why it matters

Whether a community-generated crop map and guide increases awareness and adoption of alternative food crops compared to no intervention or top-down crop substitution advice.

Baseline: prior to guide distribution, measure current awareness. Comparator: no guide provided.
