This work assesses these new global problems in the Peruvian context, more specifically, the case of the Valley of Ica. The methodology adopted for this work is non-experimental and descriptive. This is the importance of explaining the evolution of the problem of the concentration of land in the Valley of Ica.

Secondly, there will be the diagnosis of the dynamics of the ownership of the land. Preliminary results show the existence of the concentration of land for various purposes, whether it is this in the case of the Ica valley, primarily for food production linked to the agro-industrial and export sectors. Also there is evidence that there is a trend of the concentration of land for urban purposes, which this correlated undoubtedly to the economic activities of the Ica valley making the city grow precarious way in the areas of the peripheries of the city.
