Abstract

The practice of Urban Agriculture has been growing exponentially in the city of Bogotá, which has favored the joint work between the District University Francisco José de Caldas and the Botanical Garden of Bogotá José Celestino Mutis through an agreement, which allowed to perform a degree work under the modality of internship, guided by the Technical and Operational Subdirectorate of the institution and based on the knowledge acquired during the training as Technologists in Environmental Management and Public Services. The above, propitious the elaboration and execution of a work plan based on methodological instruments such as the field notes, the observations "in situ", training and the formulation and implementation of a checklist, which allowed to establish the deficiencies of the program of Urban Agriculture. For this reason, the formulation of an Agroecological Management Protocol for urban gardens was made, based on the criteria of Good Agricultural Practices. This seeks to respond and comply with the following four guidelines: Integrated management of the crop, Good agricultural practices, Environmental protection and Control of hazards, which allow to establish the problems present in the orchards and their state, in this way it is intended to improve the situation of the orchards registered to the program.
