Formulación del Plan de Manejo Ambiental de la finca “El Recuerdo” ubicada en la vereda Anatolí, municipio de La Mesa, Cundinamarca

Abstract

The El Recuerdo farm, located in Anatolí of the municipality of La Mesa, Cundinamarca, covers 1.5 hectares and is home to productive activities such as vegetable gardening, livestock farming, laying poultry, rural lodging, and coffee cultivation, the latter being the main economic activity. However, traditional agricultural practices, the improper use of natural resources, and the incorporation of activities such as tourism have led to significant environmental impacts on the biotic, abiotic, and socioeconomic environments, compromising the medium and long term sustainability of the farm's productive systems. This document arises from the need to adopt an environmentally responsible approach that guarantees the protection of biodiversity, the efficient use of natural resources, adequate waste management, the restoration of vegetation cover, and the promotion of active and participatory environmental education. The plan's formulation is based on a comprehensive characterization of the farm's resources, the identification of production processes, the analysis of environmental impacts, and finally, the structuring of environmental management measures that are coordinated with monitoring and follow-up indicators and a contingency plan. Therefore, the formulation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) becomes a technical tool that integrates sustainable practices into all productive and service activities on the farm, with the aim of preventing, mitigating, correcting, and offsetting negative environmental impacts, as well as enhancing positive effects.
