Peru Open Burning in the Agricultural sector

This resource compares till-and-burn farming with Conservation Agriculture (CA), showing how residue removal leads to erosion, weed pressure, and higher costs, while CA reduces erosion, boosts yields through post-emergence fertilization, and lowers labor needs. It also notes that CA adoption works best when introduced first to private farmers, as community groups tend to move more slowly due to shared decision-making and concerns about food security.
