    Sierra Productiva

    It is a development proposal for small peasant production, starring peasant organizations, federations and associations, with the facilitation work of the Institute for an Agrarian Alternative - I.A.A.

    It emerged in Cusco, in the Jabon Mayo microbasin, province of Canas at 4000 m.a.s.l. in 1994 with an experiment aimed at demonstrating that the small peasant family productive unit is viable and profitable.

  • There is a synergistic combination of innovative knowledge with the implementation of technologies that lead to an optimal use of the potential of the peasant family economy; its natural resources (water, land, vegetation cover), productive resources (seeds, crops, minor and major aging, and tools) and cultural resources with deep roots of ancestral knowledge; They cease to be surviving economies and become entrepreneurial economies.
