ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION IN AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN PERU: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

This study reviews a variety of scientific articles from the past five years that address the importance of environmental regulation in agricultural activities in Peru. The review was conducted using various academic search engines, including articles from Peru and other countries where there is also interest in this topic. The following question was posed: How is the importance of environmental regulation in agricultural activities in Peru demonstrated? The objective of this research is to carry out a systematic review of the articles related to environmental regulation in agricultural activities in Peru. Therefore, the information in the scientific network has been utilized. All of the documents reviewed are from indexed journals of an academic nature, ranging from national to international studies. This approach was taken to rescue the different approaches to this problem with different points of view, their approach, the problem, the solutions, and their recommendations. It has been determined that environmental regulation in agriculture in Peru is imperative to mitigate impacts on pertinent ecosystems and promote sustainability. Nevertheless, the scientific evidence examined repeatedly demonstrates a substantial discrepancy between the regulations concerning pertinent matters and their effective implementation. A review of the extant literature reveals that the most salient obstacles to effective regulation in this sector are a lack of oversight, the fragmentation of institutional competencies, and the articulation of regulatory policies with the realities experienced by small and medium-sized producers. These obstacles impede the real and effective compliance of these producers.
