Work experience
I have a large experience in studying livelihoods in arid lands in the Peruvian Andes, especially in the Colca Valley, northwestern Perú, and the Mantaro valley. I have made field work along the Peruvian coast and sierra with students and made rural developmental proposals. Currently I am working is association with the Municipality of the District of Frías-Piura in the introduction of wild fruit to agriculture and also in designing strategies to confront the climate change effects. During the 1980s I was leading a research project in the sierra of Piura in association with the French Institute for Development (ORSTOM). The main object was to find out the roots of backwardness of subsistence. We worked with school teachers, rural leaders and women. As a result of this we published a four-volume report that has been the basis for many subsequent development proposals to the sierra of Piura.
