Raíces Urbanas: guía de agroforestería en huertas urbanas como estrategia frente al cambio climático en Bogotá

Abstract

The internship was carried out at the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá, within the Technical Operational Subdirectorate under the Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture line, to develop an Agroforestry Guide for peri-urban gardens with an agroecological approach. Sixteen field visits were conducted across seven localities of Bogotá, recording 43 forest species and 41 agricultural species, along with 24 species of particular interest to local growers. Through frequency analysis, Shapiro-Wilk normality testing, and Spearman’s rank correlation, a high species diversity was observed, dominated by food and fruit species for self-consumption, without a significant correlation between garden area and floristic richness. As a result, an illustrated technical guide was developed, including 20 native, fruit, and multipurpose species, aimed at strengthening urban agroforestry planning, ecological restoration, and food sovereignty within the framework of Agreement 605 of 2015.
