| description | This report reviews the implementation of the CGIAR Initiative on Agroecology in Peru from March 2022 to July 2025, identifying best practices, gaps, and gendered barriers for advancing multifunctional, sustainable, and resilient landscapes. It focuses on the Agroecological Living Landscape (ALL) established in the Peruvian Amazon: the Agroforestry Corridor Pucallpa–Aguaytía, located in the Department of Ucayali.
The report examines the Initiative’s overall design and its interaction with activities carried out in the corridor (chapter 3). The Initiative operated through five Work Packages and eleven ALLs across eight countries, co-creating context-specific agroecological innovations with relevant stakeholders. In Peru, work centered on strengthening agroecological transitions through cooperatives, participatory research, policy engagement, and the development of inclusive business models. Multi-stakeholder networks played a key role in tailoring activities to local conditions.
Chapter 4 analyzes the emergence and functioning of the ALL Agroforestry Corridor Pucallpa–Aguaytía through six iterative milestones aligned with the Work Packages. Stakeholder mapping identified actors across production, policy, and business spheres, facilitating strong coordination with existing institutions. A participatory vision-to-action process established farmer-level and territorial visions, transition pathways, and action plans. Agronomic innovations were co-designed with two cacao cooperatives through participatory research, while the Holistic Localized Performance Assessment (HOLPA) tool assessed agroecological performance and generated context-specific indicators. The ALL also contributed to the development of Ucayali’s BioTrade Strategy with an agroecological focus and supported the formation of a regional network for establishing the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS), aimed at fostering trust-based verification system for organic and ecological production.
Chapter 5 reviews the governance structures and decision-making mechanisms supporting ALL development, and Chapter 6 analyzes the central role of cooperatives in landscape governance and the promotion of multifunctional landscapes within the corridor. Across these chapters, the report identifies best practices and opportunities for improvement.
The report concludes with a gap analysis outlining the actions needed to address persistent and emerging challenges in agricultural landscape management, with particular attention to biodiversity conservation, gender equality, and social inclusion, all essential for achieving multifunctional, sustainable, and resilient landscapes. |
