Proyecto huertas urbanas del jardín botánico de Bogotá y sus aportes a la apropiación del territorio estudio de caso: localidad Rafael Uribe Uribe (2019-2021)

Abstract

Urban agriculture emerges as an alternative for development around the different problems that large cities have around the accessibility and availability of food. In the same way, urban gardens are forged as an alternative solution to different social, environmental and cultural problems that exist in the communities and that allow the development of a new culture around sustainability and care for the environment, thus enhancing the appropriation of the territory in the areas of direct influence where they are developed. The present work allowed to analyze the way in which during the years 2019 and 2020 the orchards that are part of the Urban Gardens program of the Botanical Garden of Bogotá contributed to the generation of appropriation of the territory by the community that is part of these in the town of Rafael Uribe Uribe and the benefits that this brought during the health emergency in a locality that currently has a high number of community, emerging and institutional gardens and that one of their main problems is the lack of a food collection center and an inadequate disposal of solid waste, which can probably be the cause of an inadequate environmental culture on the part of the inhabitants.
