El sector agrícola peruano se ha convertido en los últimos años en una referencia a nivel mundial por la diversidad de productos que se producen, muchos de los cuales se destinan a la exportación a otros países. Para garantizar el crecimiento sostenible de la producción y comercialización agraria es necesario conocer los impactos ambientales generados a raíz de su ciclo de producción, distribución y consumo. Además, en una sociedad globalizada y con una creciente conciencia ambiental es necesario desarrollar modelos de monitorización ambiental para poder comunicar correctamente el perfil ambiental de los productos a los distintos interlocutores, tanto a nivel empresarial y decisional, como a nivel de interés público. Para ello, ECOPAMPA, un proyecto de colaboración entre Valle y Pampa y el Departamento de Ingeniería de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), propone el uso de la metodología de Análisis de Ciclo de Vida (ACV), con el objetivo de obtener una evaluación integral del ciclo de vida de dichos productos. El análisis servirá para identificar, a nivel corporativo, las cargas ambientales ligadas a las distintas actividades del ciclo de vida para proponer escenarios y técnicas de optimización de recursos y de minimización de impactos ambientales. Esto permitirá ofrecer apoyo a la industria agrícola para contribuir al desarrollo sostenible del sector.

There is major global concern related to the increasing quantity of plastics released into the ocean; however, little has been done to understand the origins and flows of these materials entering the sea. There are potential environmental impacts linked to the accumulation of plastics in our ocean, such as toxic effects to biodiversity, and although it is important to reduce them, understanding their origins and flows is a key step to avoid further accumulation of this type of marine litter in the sea. Thus, the main objective of this research proposal is to develop a methodology to characterize and quantify the origins and flows of plastics released into the sea generated by anthropogenic activities within a country. Material flow analysis (MFA) has been selected as the main methodological tool to be used in this research. In addition, based on the critical lack of data, different methodological strategies are proposed to interact with MFA. Peru, an emerging economy with an underdeveloped waste management system, has been selected as the case study. Although there are unique characteristics of the selected case study, we argue that the proposed methodology could be replicated in other developing countries. Thus, this project will provide both a methodological guidance on how to map the plastics value chain related to marine plastics and create new knowledge on the transport and distribution pathways as well as on the hotspots of marine litter in the context of a specific case study country. The project will also facilitate the identification of knowledge gaps and potential instruments related to preventing and minimizing marine pollution resulting from waste flows.

The Life Cycle Thinking or "Life Cycle Thinking" implies that different actors involved in the value chains of products and services have a responsibility and a role in guaranteeing a sustainable use of resources in said value chain, from cradle to the grave, taking into account all relevant external effects. This means that the impacts of all stages of the life cycle must be considered when making decisions about production and consumption patterns, policies and management strategies.

Currently, EXPANSCIENCE is interested in exploring the environmental profile of the production of avocado from Peru, in order to improve the environmental performance throughout its supply chain, including mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental pollution levels (e.g., water scarcity, eutrophication, eco-toxicity, among others). This will allow EXPANSCIENCE together with PELCAN researchers at PUCP to identify opportunities for improvement in the production process of this product, suggesting changes in the production on farmers' farms.
