This study examines changes in Yanesha agriculture in the Peruvian Amazon fifteen years after the construction of a highway through their lands. Quantitative data showed little change in field characteristics over time. However, new field types like black earth fields and commercial agroforestry appeared, and upland rice fields disappeared. Species richness remained similar in home gardens, but composition changed due to new species, roadside living, and market influences. The highway facilitated transportation, markets, people, and ideologies that stimulated both change and conservation for Yanesha agriculture over fifteen turbulent years of conflict.
