Formulación del plan de manejo ambiental para la finca la bienvenida ubicada en la inspección la esperanza, vereda la pesquera, municipio de la mesa, departamento de cundinamarca

Abstract

The implementation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) at the "La Bienvenida" farm is presented as a priority response to the environmental problems stemming from its production activities. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals, as part of the standard technological package, has generated cumulative negative effects on soils, surface and groundwater, as well as on local biodiversity. This practice, widespread throughout the farm, does not consider the specific needs of each soil type, raising concerns about the health of workers and nearby communities. Furthermore, the inadequate management of solid waste, such as coffee cherries from the pulping process, has also been a challenge. The proposed EMP seeks to identify, evaluate, and propose appropriate alternatives to address these problems. It will focus on promoting sustainable agricultural practices, reducing the use of agrochemicals, restoring degraded soils, and establishing an efficient solid waste management system. The objective is to improve the quality of the ecosystem and the health of local inhabitants in the short, medium, and long term. By improving the quality of the ecosystem, and especially the soil, through the new organic and sustainable system, the quality of the coffee is expected to improve. Furthermore, the project aims to optimize the farm's current efficiency based on an analysis of the production lines and a map of its productive activities. This project not only seeks to solve environmental problems and improve efficiency but also to lay the foundation for a new economy in the area. The intention is to transform the farm into a more agroecological model, attractive to tourism, which could generate additional economic opportunities for the local community, promote the municipality's coffee culture, and sell the product directly to consumers, thus providing them with a complete experience
