Background
Concessions in Use for Agroforestry Systems (CUSAF) constitute an opportunity to formalize agroforestry and forestry productive practices by family producers on forest lands; make the family producer visible, integrating it into the forestry sector; and promote sustainable production practices based on agroforestry, restoring ecosystem services and conserving forests.
The AgroFor Project, through its three components, seeks to support national and regional government agencies in building the institutional, regulatory, technical, and financial conditions that allow for successful implementation of the CUSAFs on a scale by family farmers, improving their livelihoods and becoming them strategic partnets for the sustainable development of the Amazon, accessing better business opportunities and contributing to reducing forest deforestation.
This Project is implemented through a consortium, made up of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), the International Center for Agroforestry Research (ICRAF), and the Peruvian Society of Environmental Law (SPDA), and is financed by the Government of Norway (NORAD and NICFI). It intervenes in the regions of Loreto, San Martin and Amazonas, and in Lima it coordinates with the National Forest and Wildlife Service – SERFOR and the Forest and Wildlife Resources Supervision Agency – OSINFOR, in addition to national level entities linked to the forestry sector (MIDAGRI, MINAM, MEF).
Outcomes
Main Outcome 1: In priority areas, Agroforestry Concessions contracts are registered and related GHG emissions reduction is estimated by appropriate national and subnational authorities
Main Outcome 2: Family Farmers in Agroforestry Concessions areas implement sustainable land management options tailored to local socio-ecological context and comply with Agroforestry Concessions requirements including zero deforestation with the support of relevant Government of Peru and stakeholders.
Main Outcome 3: Financial institutions support new sustainable practices of agroforestry farmers under AC. Incentives and financing.
Impact
The project’s ultimate expected impact is twofold: (1) reduced deforestation and GHG emissions in the Peruvian Amazon; and (2) improved livelihoods of vulnerable small-scale farmers at the forest frontier.
