Peru Country Climate and Development Report November 2022

Focus:

Section 3.2.3 of the report deals more specifically with the strategy for reducing emissions in the agricultural sector.

Key messages of this section are as follows:

  • Agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation but providing incentives to farmers to invest in sustainable intensification would reduce deforestation while increasing productivity.

  • The agriculture sector can reduce emissions by changing irrigation practices, substituting fertilizers, managing pastures and through diet changes in the population.
