This article has the following objectives: 1) to identify the bottlenecks in the cocoa and palm oil value chains in the Ucayali region (Peru), so that their different actors and links can contribute to avoid deforestation, and 2) based on these bottlenecks, to identify the enabling conditions and incentives (from the perspective of the actors in the different links of these value chains), necessary to reduce or avoid deforestation in this Amazon region.

Embedding circularity into the transition towards sustainable agroforestry systems in Peru

december, 2021
Peru

Peru is promoting the adoption of agroforestry systems with the aim to halt the deforestation of tropical forests caused by smallholder farmers. However, deficient soil conservation practices and nutrient management are common among the targeted smallholders, hampering the success of this strategy. In this study, we explore the potential of valorizing municipal biowaste as compost to be used as soil amendment in coffee agroforestry systems and in silvopastoral systems. The analysis was concentrated in four Peruvian regions and the most populous city in each of them.
