Promoting sustainable food systems(ImpulSAD)

Our Objective

To develop and strengthen sustainable food systems and entrepreneurial dynamics within rural Peruvian communities, while improving access to food, natural, productive and environmental resources, as well as land and territory.

Our Actions

• Strengthening the resilience and environmental awareness of local actors through awareness-raising and the expansion of areas dedicated to environmental management (land use planning, sustainable management of natural resources).
• Agroecological transition for producers, including training, technical support and food diversification for women and farming families.
• Clean-up campaigns and reforestation activities in communal areas.
• Participation in research and experimentation on natural inputs to improve harvests.
• Support for green entrepreneurship and the structuring of cooperatives, through non-financial services to improve household incomes and strengthen local organisations.
• Development of sustainable small businesses, such as organic production, waste management or renewable energy, and promotion of short supply chains between rural producers and urban consumers.
• Economic, social and decision-making empowerment of women, with increased access to positions of responsibility in production units and better access to information and communication technologies.

Our impact

This project strengthens communities' adaptation to environmental challenges, improves food security and accelerates the agroecological transition. It also stimulates a sustainable rural economy through green entrepreneurship and contributes to women's autonomy in production, management and decision-making, thereby supporting more resilient and equitable territorial development.
