Right on information, or "hydroliteracy" of the different stakeholders is indeed where Andes projects are putting a lot of their efforts in. Which information is the one that really contributes to levelling of the playing field is not always that obvious. Alain already mentions variability of a different aspects (social, political, climatic, ecological, ...) which certainly is huge in the Andes, and easily leads to bad extrapolations based on the few ground truth sites we have information on.
And we have to be honest that the information to fuel the conversations is not always available, or is not available in the right format, and we need research on nicer green, better watered grass, more resilient to the impact of the rude football players on top of it.
