The Ica-Peru region has great agro-export potential in the country. It is a privileged region for this type of investment because of its quality of soil, climate, hours of sunshine and luminosity, which makes it very competitive; achieving high levels of productivity and quality in their crops. Employment in Ica grew at a level of 31% per month during the harvest periods dedicated to agricultural exports, achieving full employment, which has allowed its population to access higher levels of living and consumption. The overexploitation of aquifers in the project area has been identified as the central problem evidenced by the continuous descent of groundwater levels, a fact that is affecting groundwater reserves, and in some cases, the quality of them. In addition, the irrational and deficient use of groundwater has as indirect causes the informality in the exploitation of the aquifer.

The country has a commitment, which springs up in 2015 Paris Treaty, to reduce its emissions. Therefore, it must stop deforestation and accelerate a gradual change in the energy matrix, go efficiently towards clean energies and achieve sustainable decentralized growth. Governance and the capacity to face climate change are at stake: this is the urgency of a new energy policy. This effort must have strategic planning with short, medium and long term goals: Peru building its own energy transition. Peru faces a great challenge. A society that seeks its development must handle with extreme care and prudence the renewable and non-renewable natural resources within its reach, as well as the human factor and the cultural and social aspects linked to the management of resources.

In Peru, we need to empower people and articulate public social and economic policies, build links in favor of a healthy environment and sustainable development.

The transnational perspective has renewed in recent years the historiography on APRA, from problems and approaches that do not cover the issues of disputes between its defenders and detractors in Peru. This renewal has allowed to restore the dynamics of aprismo networks in the continent. This work seeks to contribute some more threads to the knowledge of these networks, through the political and intellectual itinerary of Francisco Capelli. This is the case of a militant who promoted the formation of an APRA union of students in the city of La Plata, Argentina, in the thirties, and then served as leader of the organization Fuerza de Orientación Radical de la Joven Argentina ( FORJA), where he became the Secretary General. This nationalist organization, detached from the trunk of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), was later incorporated into Peronism, and Capelli was part of the management of the government of the Province of Buenos Aires. The choice of this particular case requires a series of introductory clarifications, which are an excuse to reflect, also, on the place of the biographical account in the historiography on APRA.
