Implementación de un Sistema de Gestión Ambiental en cuarenta restaurantes de la zona gastronómica de Bucaramanga, bajo la metodología de Marco Lógico

Abstract

Human life as we know involves the excessive use and exploitation of natural resources that threaten to become depleted and forever change the development of society as we know it. This project addresses only a small part of this major environmental problem and aims to show how the state, through the implementation of public policies, and social actors can initiate a process of change in consumption, production, and distribution, leading them toward sustainable horizons that respect earth. the excessive generation of solid organic waste is one of the largest sources of environmentally harmful gas emissions, contributing significantly to global warming and threatening life and different ecosystems. However, various studies show that it is possible to develop and implement control measures aimed at better managing this waste, while also creating opportunities around the production and consumption processes present in every society. In view of this, it is proposed to intervene in food sector, which is responsible for a large proportion of the generation of this kind of waste. The gastronomic sectors are part of different human cultures, they are living elements of history and the characteristics of every corner of the planet, and in turn, they constitute an important item in regional and local economies. However, they present great challenges towards the structuring of sustainable businesses, since there is an increasingly informed society with greater decision-making power, creating more conscious and demanding consumers when making their consumption choices. In this sense, impact objectives are set for the operational processes of the actors involved, in this case, the restaurant sector, creating and modifying current operations to make them ecologically based and with a view to a sustainable and permanent approach. Current literature contains the results of various applications in this sector and their outcomes. It shows how the implementation of public policies from an environmental perspective impacts results in terms of emissions into the environment and promotes the development of circular economies that involve more people. The development of mechanisms for processing and reusing this waste also provides an opportunity to change aggressive consumption habits, generate technological and productive innovation processes in different sectors, and strengthen the state apparatus in its responsibility to care for resources. Following the logical framework methodology as the main planning tool promotes interventions that are more consistent with reality, allowing for suitable identification of the needs of populations and the implementation of relevant alternative solutions aligned with state development objectives
