Sistemas productivos que contribuyen a la sostenibilidad ambiental y seguridad alimentaria de la vereda contadero de Villavicencio, Meta.

Abstract

The research work was aimed at proposing alternative production systems that contribute to environmental sustainability and food security in the Contadero village of Villavicencio, Meta, located within the Buenavista Protective Forest Reserve, which has legal restrictions on the use of the floor. The methodology consisted of three phases: preparation, diagnosis and formulation. Information was collected from official sources such as DANE, Cormacarena, IGAC and SIPRA of UPRA. Subsequently, a survey was implemented to carry out the social and environmental characterization, and the information obtained was analyzed using the SPSS software (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). In addition, a participatory construction workshop was held with the community, where a social map and a SWOT matrix were developed. Through a feasibility matrix, the most relevant alternative was determined considering criteria such as soil suitability, adoption of planning instruments, community acceptance, income generation and long-term sustainability. The results propose two alternatives for the socio-environmental context of the Contadero village: A cocoa agroforestry system (SAF) for farms with sustainable use and low suitability for cocoa. Non-timber forest products (NTFP) for properties in the sustainable use category and low forestry suitability. These alternatives are aimed at the conservation of biodiversity, production, environmental sustainability and food security of the community of the Contadero village.
