Author summary: The baseline of cassava genetic diversity in Peru, published in 2025 by the Ministry of Environment, compiles studies conducted in 15 departments on cultivated varieties and wild species of the genus Manihot. The report addresses taxonomic classification, floral biology, agroecosystems, socioeconomic and cultural aspects, as well as organisms associated with the crop. It also presents guidelines for their conservation, evaluation in the face of climate change and proposals for sustainable management, within the framework of the LMO Moratorium Law and the Cartagena Protocol, providing key information for biosafety decision-making.
