Description

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.
