Abstract

Sustainable Development term was born in 1987 and referred to the satisfaction of human needs while preserving the planet resources. There are different interpretations of this definition, but generally, all agree that a Sustainable Development model must be economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally benign. This manuscript proposes strategies from a zoo technical approach and their contribution to the path for Sustainable Development in Peru. In Peru, a sustainable zoo technical vision will be made up of a conscious and responsible society, promoting a rational small-scale production, understanding the existing relationships between animals, plants, soil, air and water, for a comprehensive and peaceful human nature intervention. For this, the livestock activity will have to review and readjust its foundations for good professional and scientific exercise. It is necessary to avoid the deterioration of virgin regions to install new productive systems instead of implementing techniques that imitate the patterns and relationships in nature, such as permaculture. Finally, a Sustainable Development model should not focus only on accumulating financial benefits because this will quickly lead us to social and environmental poverty.

Highlights

  • The global food crisis worsened due to many factors, including the increase in food prices and the appearance of new diseases such as COVID-19, which contributed to the advance of poverty and extreme poverty (González and Jiménez, 2012; Vaughan, 2020)

  • We highlight the question What is sustainable development? According to Novo Villaverde and Zaragoza (2009), it becomes an integrated approach to a new model-oriented by respecting nature and social

  • Research and production could focus, for example, on the promotion of animal-plant-soil interaction systems such as silvo pastures, on the use of native biodiversity to improve yields and resistance to diseases, on the use of forages and local inputs for food, in comprehensive strategies for the management of diseases and pests in crops and livestock. This goal of improving production systems will require commitment and time and the implementation of government agrarian policies based on promoting integral sustainable development favoring the poorest rural agricultural sector

Summary

Introduction

The global food crisis worsened due to many factors, including the increase in food prices and the appearance of new diseases such as COVID-19, which contributed to the advance of poverty and extreme poverty (González and Jiménez, 2012; Vaughan, 2020) This phenomenon is due to population growth, extensive rural poverty, the degradation of natural resources (intensive agricultural production, mineral extraction, among others) and climate change. The increase in food insecurity is due to different changes in environments and lifestyles, as well as social inequality caused by austerity policies (Gracia-Arnaiz, 2021) This situation proposes concentrating efforts to incorporate elements that promote social, economic and environmental sustainability to improve society and its environment.
