Abstract

This research aimed to examine the sustainable governance applicable to small organic agriculture in Peru by 2022. The qualitative methodology was employed in the case study, enabling the acquisition of concrete, contextual, and comprehensive knowledge regarding the environmental governance that Peru has been experiencing. The study subjects comprised 15 representatives of producer organizations from the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon, as well as 5 representatives of institutions associated with the agrarian and environmental governance of Peru. The semi-structured interview was conducted with them, complemented by a documentary analysis of the primary agricultural and environmental public policies. The results indicate an enormous gap in environmental governance between the three levels of government (national government, regional governments and municipalities) and between multisectors (the ministries dedicated to the themes are given: agrarian, environmental, social, and production) It has been concluded that there is no comprehensive vision for organic agriculture as an environmental sustainability strategy. The 'Theory of Anti-Lethargy of Small Farmers in the Face of Sustainable Governance' is proposed, which encompasses strategies to encourage agrarian participation, given that more than two million farmers are awaiting the government's intervention, i.e. citizens who have not comprehended the importance of being involved, active, and committed. This approach has the potential to generate economies of scale, enhance opportunities, and elevate living standards for the next generation.
