Its rural
environment feature most areas capable of
producing different types of soils from 1,200 to 6,500
meters above sea level. These soil types can produce plants
which posess medicinal and aromatic qualities, as well
as staple crops and fruit trees, while the fauna
features a variety of animals, both wild and reared in
captivity. There is also a rural population capable
of production although farming and livestock rearing
are difficult. This has made Peru's farmer an intensive
user of land, using natural areas and wild pastures, which
has made it impossible for farming to be done efficiently
and sustainably. Livestock rearing, meanwhile, has similar
problems to agriculture, despite the fact there is plenty
of wild grazing pasture. Campesino families and small-scale
herders are unable to produce efficiently due to lack
of technical assistance, credit facilities, lack of adequate
infrastructure and finally market scale.
