\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Though raised field agriculture used to outline the landscape of the Lake Titicaca Basin being an interesting technology created and managed with success by pre"=hispanic Andean farmers before being abandoned, and despite the success of most efforts to re"=introduce the system into rural indigenous communities, it is again, threatened of being abandoned. In order to understand the enabling environment surrounding this abandon, the current study has been carried out in Caritamaya, a rural Aymara community south of the Peruvian side of the Lake Titicaca Basin, using mainly qualitative methods. Results have shown a weak institutional implementation of policies, together with lack of capital and trainings that promote the use and protection of traditional agriculture. Besides, a loophole for exploitative behaviour of the communal space was identified. Whilst the majority of farmers is still committed to the Aymara culture and commandments, trying to preserve the heritage of their ancestors, a new spirit of individualism is taking over the rest of the community, who now prefer to either leave to find jobs in the cities or call for privatisation of communal lands to be managed within individual families. Ignoring the agricultural advantages of raised fields in securing the livelihoods of their families and the system's technical virtues in preserving sustainable natural resources has led to a progressive abandon of the technology in Caritamaya and similar rural communities. Eventually, this will threaten the natural landscape, the livelihoods of the poor majority, the long"=term cultural history and the sustainability of traditional agriculture in the region. }
