Abstract

This research work contributes in a purposeful way to a strategy for the improvement of community gardens as an instrument for strengthening the community in the towns of Bosa, Usme and Ciudad Bolívar in the city of Bogotá. To do this, in a first stage, a descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach was carried out on the technical, economic and social fields of an intentionally chosen sample of eight (8) experiences of urban gardens. This information was collected from interviews and semi-structured surveys with the leaders of the orchards and the participants of these experiences, allowing to identify the structuring problems faced by the community gardens in the city. The analysis showed as a result that the limitations are common to all the orchards, highlighting the deficient support and institutional disarticulation, the need for adequate training, the deficient participation of the community, the lack of incentives and the difficulty in accessing them. markets. Based on these limitations, projects are formulated within the framework of the strategy proposed in this document.
