Resumen

Agricultural activity is sustainable when it maintains and improves the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. Accomplishing these conditions is especially important in regions whose development is strongly linked to agricultural production, as is the case of rural Peru. In Peru's rural areas, 39% of the economically active population is engaged in agricultural activities, which, when combined with precarity and subsistence, are unequivocally connected to poverty. In Peruvian Amazonia, these negative socio-environmental conditions are aggravated by the processes of settler colonization, expansion of the agricultural frontier, and deforestation. Cocoa, an industrial crop that has expanded significantly in Amazonia and furthered producers' market connections, has also accelerated the rate of deforestation due to unsustainable soil practices.
