6. Food Security - Definitions Mestizos To have food all year long To have variety of food To have healthy food To have a balanced diet To have well conserved food Quantity is important but it has to be as well of good quality.

8. Local dimension of food security Difference does not depend on the ethnicity, but on the distance to the market and economic possibilities to buy food products. Therefore the difference is between roadside and riverside communities. In winter the access to the market is difficult for roadside communities due to bad conditions of the roads that connect them with the nearest market. 1. Market access

9. Local dimension of food security 2. Food sources diversity In general food sources are the same for all the communities Main food sources in roadside communities: chacra and market. Main food sources in riverside communities: chacra and river. Riverside communities have access to water food resources. Roadside communities have easier access to buy products from market.

10. Local dimension of food security 3. Food diversity In general food products from natural resources have decreased due to environmental degradation. However roadside community have replaced this diversity whit the food diversity of the market. Furthermore mainly in roadside communities chacras are not only for household consumption, but also for commercial purposes and plantation became intensive decreasing the crop variety (e.g. palm oil or cacao).

11. Local dimension of food security 4. Seasonality Change in diet according to the season: In summer they used to eat higher quantity of fish due to the abundance (riverside communities) or the lower price (roadside communities).

16. Negative effects Pests and diseases (attack crops) Strong winds Flooding Strong heat Frequent rain Mosquitoes

17. Main environmental problems Deforestation Fishes decrease Lost of soil fertility

18. Deforestation Main causes: Logging External logging companies Population growth Main effects: Lost of timber Chasing away of wild animals Decrease of wild fruits

19. Main causes: Overfishing Commercial fishers from Pucallpa Population growth Change of fishing techniques (fishing nets) Fish poisoning Main effects: Decrease on fish consumption-> diseases Decrease of income Fish decrease

20. Main causes: Overusing of soil (no rotation) Use of agrochemicals Desertification Main effects: Bad nutrition Decrease of income Lost of soil fertility
