Incidence from the chacra

What began in the 1990s in Peru, with the struggle against the indiscriminate use of pesticides, has not ended, but the Alternative Agriculture Action Network (RAAA) has combined protest with proposals in its actions, favoring dialogic debate with irrefutable arguments resulting from ongoing participatory research. Working in a network, articulating and bringing together many initiatives, Luis Gomero and the RAAA practice a fruitful alternation between impact, denunciation and protest on the one hand and dialogue, proposal and alternative actions on the other. The prohibition of the so-called "dirty dozen" in the 1990s, the moratorium and its renewal to prevent the entry of GMOs into Peru, the prohibition of highly dangerous pesticides and stopping the export of chemical precursors from some European countries to Peru, the foundation of the association of ecological producers of the Chillon Valley (APEVCH), one of the epicenters of the use of agro-toxics in the country, with its weekly bio-fair in Carabayllo and the organic point in Qatuna Markets are some of the defeats achieved.
