| description | This project aims to increase agricultural productivity, incomes, and sustainable management of
land and water by small farmers in the rural Sierra region of Peru. Although results demonstrate
the effectiveness of increased productivity and commercialization of high value agricultural
commodities, this type of activity may be limited to certain parts of the watershed with access to
irrigation and startup capital. Interventions promoting commercialization, such as those of
CEDEPAS Norte, may result in reduced soil degradation and decreased conversion of pastures to
cropland. On the other hand, the evaluation results for PRONAMACHCS indicate how difficult it is
to improve the standard of life of the population by focusing exclusively on soil and water
conservation techniques. Thus, this analysis indicates that a combination of activities may be
necessary in order to improve productivity in the short term and promote adoption of sustainable
soil and water conservation techniques in the medium and long term. |
