Abstract

Passionfruit (Passiflora ligularis Juss.) is native to the tropical Andes of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Bolivia. It is a vine species cultivated mainly on slopes with a trellis system to support the plants and it is often grown within a mixed crop system with coffee and/or trees. There is a growing national and international demand for the fruit due to its taste and nutritional qualities. This study evaluated the social sustainability of passion fruit production in three districts of the province of Oxapampa (Pasco, Peru) and is part of a more comprehensive study that evaluated the sustainability as a whole. The MESMIS method (Masera et al., 1999), as well as Multicriteria Analysis (Sarandón, 2002) were applied, both based on a set of 21 sub-indicators grouped into 5 indicators. The first method determined the social attributes of sustainability (adaptability, equality and self-reliance) and the Multicriteria Analysis determined the indicator of social sustainability (ISS). The passionfruit production system generates social impact, contributes to food security, and reduces poverty levels in rural areas. Within a context of small scale family agriculture farmers´ livelihoods improved, family labor is boosted, women labor is revaluated, and younger generations are motivated to remain in rural areas. The attribute of adaptability is found to be strength of the system, whereas the attributes of equality and self-management are found negative aspects. Sarandón’s Indicator value of Social Sustainability is 6.6, which classifies the passionfruit production system as “potentially sustainableâ€.
