Zonificación Ambiental para Establecimiento de Sistemas Agroforestales Compatibles con las Especies Maracuyá (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Degener) y Cholupa (Passiflora maliformis L.) en los Municipios Productores del Departamento del Meta, Colombia

Abstract

This undergraduate work carried out in the internship modality was presented with the purpose of putting into practice what was learned in the forest engineering curriculum project and in response to the needs of the Planeta Vivo Foundation Bta, which as part of the formulation of a a pilot project for the production of pasifloráceas, required as a technical input for decision making with criteria of environmental sustainability to identify areas with potential for the establishment of agroforestry systems that are compatible with the species of “passion fruit” and “cholupa” produced in the Ariari subregion, Meta. Based on the above, a land suitability assessment was carried out, using different criteria that allowed the evaluation of 1.193.382,18 Ha for the Ariari subregion, identifying favorable areas where it is possible to include the species under study and an arboreal component , for the formation of agroforestry systems, ensuring that these areas are biophysically appropriate, socially acceptable, economically feasible and that generate the least negative impact on the environment.
