For the last three years, I have been living in the rural valley of Oxapampa in central Peru, working on, among other things, sustainable agricultural production systems. I have a small plot of land where I am humbly trying to develop a small agro-ecological production system. Based on these experiences, I thought it might be interesting to share some ideas on how to guarantee upscaling of sustainable agriculture and the essential role young people play in that challenge.
As I write this, a diffuse blanket of smoke covers the entire valley with a fog-like haze dense enough to make the cloudless sky look more white than blue. The sunlight that reaches the ground bathes everything in an orange tone.
