Abstract

The present work formulates the different environmental education strategies that allow to contribute to mitigate the climate change scenarios, developed with the Asosandia Association present in the municipality of San Martín, Meta in the village of El Merey, made up of watermelon producers, this work It was developed with the support of the municipal mayor's office of San Martín de los Llanos based on the municipal development plan. To this end, some objectives were established consisting of a diagnosis of the community, an environmental impact matrix and the formulation of strategies, which allow the improvement of adequate environmental practices in the production of agricultural products and thereby reduce the effects on the environment, due to that, most producers do not implement them due to the multiple concerns they have on the subject. For the formulation of the strategies, the methodology based initially on the diagnosis of the community was applied, knowing its members and the crops they own; After this, the matrix of environmental impacts was carried out, where resources such as water, air, soil, waste, biodiversity, environmental health were evaluated. As a result of this, fourteen impacts were generated with a rating of severe and moderate, which led to the creation of environmental education strategies to reduce these impacts generated in the cultivation of watermelon, these contribute to the development of climate change, also concluding the deficiency in the application of good environmental practices and the lack of environmental culture by the agricultural community. A socialization was carried out with some members of the association, where the acceptance of the strategies was favorable and therefore they requested the support of the municipal administration to be able to execute some of them, taking into account that professional help is required to execute some activities.
