Propuesta para la implementación de prácticas sostenibles en actividades productivas de los Municipios de Fortul y Saravena, Arauca

Abstract

The global crisis associated with degradation of the natural environment and biodiversity, generated by the effect of problems such as deforestation, climate change or pollution, must be assumed with conservation strategies that can be extended to productive activities (Ollinaho & Kröger, 2021), a clear example of which, are the sustainable practices associated with livestock production, specifically, the use of clean energy of non-conventional origin and the implementation of silvopastoral systems (SSP). The development of these activities should be carried out through the active participation of local communities, which is essential for decision-making and the formulation of public policies and scientific schedules (Sánchez-Romero et al., 2021). Therefore, the application of a semi-structured interview, aimed at the local population of livestock producers or local inhabitants, located mainly in the municipalities of Fortul and Saravena, was carried out. Twenty-seven interviews were conducted, in order to identify local perspectives on the implementation of this type of practices in livestock farming and in daily activities, additionally, strategies were formulated to promote its implementation. As a result of application and analysis of the semi-structured interview, it was possible to identify obstacles and potentialities for the promotion of these sustainable practices, in addition to the diagnosis of the current condition of its implementation. With this, problem prioritization matrices and SWOT matrices were prepared, with which 4 proposals for project profiles were formulated; Model Farm, Technical training, Institutional strengthening and aggregation and promotion of financing mechanisms and incentives
