| Sumario: | The Peruvian Amazon, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, faces numerous interconnected challenges, including biodiversity loss and soil degradation. The Private Sector Incentives and Investments (PSii) project—implemented by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, funded by the European Commission, and managed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)—marks a significant step toward fostering sustainable and inclusive food systems. It operates under the CGIAR’s Agroecological Transitions Program for Building Resilient, Inclusive Agricultural and Food Systems (TRANSITIONS).
The project aims to drive an agroecological transition within the Cacao value chain by generating data-driven insights and optimizing investment returns. These efforts seek to motivate public and private stakeholders to move beyond traditional “business as usual” practices and adopt agroecological production approaches, ultimately enhancing the environmental sustainability of Peru's food systems.
To achieve its objectives, the project collaborates with various local and regional institutions, including the Chamber of Commerce, the National Institute for Agricultural Innovation, and local cacao cooperatives.
