| Title: | Peru - Local Productive Development Project in the Highlands and Rainforest of Peru (Avanzar Rural) – August 2022 |
| Description: |
This is the main nursery of the Bosque de las Nuwas Association. Thanks to the support of the government's Avanzar Rural program, it was possible to install a water reservoir where the Nuwas have started to raise Tilapia fish which eat the algae and keep the water clean. The water will later be used to irrigate their plots of land. In addition, a technical drip irrigation system was also incorporated so that all the furrows of the plots are irrigated evenly without the crops being affected by the lack of rainfall or periods of drought. In this nursery, the Association's Work Committee, made up of 20 of the Nuwas, works every day, ensuring the growth of medicinal plants that will later be used in the products they have developed for sale, infusions consisting of huasca cloves, aguaymanto, ginger, stevia and vanilla. The Avanzar Rural Project is a priority in Peru’s Post-COVID 19 National Recovery Plan. It will improve family farmers’ productive capacity and access to markets in 101 districts of the Amazonas, Ancash, Cajamarca, Lima and San Martin departments. The project focuses on developing the competitiveness and resilience to climate change of family farmers, in particular women and youth, historically marginalized in economic decisions affecting rural communities. It also spreads the use of low-cost, efficient technologies for boosting productivity, accessing markets and mitigating climate change. Avanzar Rural will benefit 17,400 small agricultural producers organized in cooperatives, productive associations and their families, which represent a total number of 57,420 direct beneficiaries. |
