Modelo de granja integral con enfoque en economía circular para pequeños productores agropecuarios estudio de caso: Finca el Encenillo Nuevo Colón, Boyacá

Abstract

This document develops the research that aims to generate an integral farm model from the circular economy approach for small farmers, which is simulated for the case study of the El Encenillo farm located in Nuevo Colón Boyacá, Colombia; The model is based on the postulates of circular economy proposed by Ellen MacArthur, as well as a characterization of the state of knowledge worldwide between 2002 and 2021 through a systematic review of literature in the Scopus, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases, examining circular economy technologies applicable to the agricultural sector, This model is aligned with the thematic approach of environmental sustainability of socio-cultural and economic processes of the Master's Degree in Sustainable Development and Environmental Management. Subsequently, a simulation of the proposed model was carried out in the agricultural unit called Finca el Encenillo located in the municipality of Nuevo Colon in the department of Boyacá Colombia, using the Vensim© program, obtaining as a result an internal rate of return on capital of 36%. However, an investment of approximately fifty-one million one hundred and seventy-four thousand six hundred and sixtyseven pesos ($ 51,174,667) is required, which should be provided through an agricultural incentive since small farmers do not have the capacity to assume it, which implies a challenge in public policy for the agricultural sector.
