THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR A. General 1/ 1.01 Agriculture contributes about 13% to Peru's GDP, but it occupies more than 42% of the labor force and accounts for about 22% of total merchan- dise exports. Food processing employs an additional 4% of the labor force and contributes about 9% of the GDP. The value of food production at constant prices increased only at an average of 1% per annum from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, while, during the same period, population increased by an average of 2.9% per annum. Consequently, the country's dependence on imported food- stuffs has grown substantially, mainly in dairy products, pulses, vegetable oils and grains such as wheat and maize. At the same time, the volume of agricultural exports declined and by 1975/76 was only about 60% of its 1962/63 level. As a result, the value of agricultural imports as a percentage of agri- cultural exports has increased

  • Water Footprint Assessment of Bananas Produced by Small Banana Farmers in Peru and Ecuador
    Water footprint assessment of bananas produced by small banana farmers in Peru and Ecuador L. Clercx1, E. Zarate Torres2 and J.D. Kuiper3 1Technical Assistance for Sustainable Trade & Environment (TASTE Foundation), Koopliedenweg 10, 2991 LN Barendrecht, The Netherlands; 2Good Stuff International CH, Blankweg 16, 3072 Ostermundigen, Bern, Switzerland; 3Good Stuff International B.V., PO Box 1931, 5200 BX, s’-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. Abstract In 2013, Good Stuff International (GSI) carried out a Water Footprint Assessment for the banana importer Agrofair and its foundation TASTE (Technical Assistance for Sustainable Trade & Environment) of banana production by small farmers in Peru and Ecuador, using the methodology of the Water Footprint Network (WFN). The objective was to investigate if the Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) can help define strategies to increase the sustainability of the water consumption of banana production and processing of smallholder banana producers in Peru and Ecuador. The average water footprint was 576 m3 t-1 in Ecuador and 599 m3 t-1 for Peru. This corresponds respectively to 11.0 and 11.4 m3 per standard 18.14 kg banana box. In both samples, approximately 1% of the blue water footprint corresponds to the washing, processing and packaging stage. The blue water footprint was 34 and 94% of the total, respectively for Ecuador and Peru. This shows a strong dependency on irrigation in Peru. The sustainability of the water footprint is questionable in both countries but especially in Peru. Paradoxically, the predominant irrigation practices in Peru imply a waste of water in a context of severe water scarcity. The key water footprint reduction strategy proposed was better and more frequent dosing of irrigation water.

Our Vision Secure and equitable access to and control over land reduces poverty and contributes to identity, dignity and inclusion. CIRAD works with the whole range of developing countries to generate and pass on new knowledge, support agricultural development and fuel the debate on the main global issues concerning agriculture. CIRAD is a targeted research organization, and bases its operations on development needs, from field to laboratory and from a local to a global scale. The Centro Peruano de Estudios Sociales (CEPES) was created in 1976 as an institution specialized in rural development, focussed on offering its professional contribution to the task of improving the living conditions of rural women and men of Peru, with the perspective of contributing to a more democratic and just society. After more than three decades, CEPES still maintains its original objectives. CEPES looks for the inclusion of small farmers and peasant communities (campesinos) in national processes of modernization and democratization, with a broad political commitment to fostering national development in a democratic, decentralized and equitable way.

  • The Local Dimension of Transnational Activity in Environmental Conflicts: Tambogrande, 1961-2004
    The Local Dimension of Transnational Activity in Environmental Conflicts: Tambogrande, 1961-2004 By Jorge Ernesto Thieroldt Llanos Submitted to the graduate degree program in Sociology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Eric Hanley Robert Antonio Ebenezer Obadare Emily Rauscher J. Christopher Brown Date Defended: 9 June 2017 The dissertation committee for Jorge Thieroldt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Local Dimension of Transnational Activity in Environmental Conflicts: Tambogrande, 1961-2004 Chair: Eric Hanley Date Approved: 9 June 2017 ii Abstract Based on the in-depth analysis of the Tambogrande case, the most well known case of social mobilization in Peru, I argue that the success or failure of transnational activity is closely linked to actions performed on the grassroots level by local organizations before the arrival of outsiders. Between 1999 and 2004, Tambogrande was the site of intense transnational activity. The support given by international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) like Oxfam Great Britain and Oxfam America was crucial to stop a Canadian mining company, Manhattan Minerals Corporation (MMC), interested in the extraction of the minerals lying underneath. The existing literature about this case of environmental conflict highlights the contributions of the INGOs neglecting a deeper account of the past trajectories of the local actors. I argue that this successful case of transnational activity was the direct result of a long series of protests that began in 1961 when hundreds of farmers from different regions of Peru arrived to colonize the desert to create what is now the San Lorenzo Valley.
