Identificación de los impactos ambientales generados en la cadena productiva de las pasifloras en Colombia

Abstract

This document was made to find the environmental impacts occasioned during the development of the pasiflora’s productive chain. Because of this objective, and having the support of the foundation Planeta Vivo Bta and the investigation group TecnoApro, were developed three objectives. First, the productive chain of the Passifloras was characterized, includding all of the links in each fruit included (Maracuya, Curuba, Badea, Granadilla y Gulupa), looking at the following activities: seed selection, vivarium sowing, soil sowing, soil preparedness, health control, irrigation, harvest, transporting, and storage. Then, were identificated and quantified all the inputs and outputs of the process, specifying the spots affected from the toxicological perspective. And finally, were definited the environmental impacts generated in each link of the productive chain, both positive and negative, through an environmental impact matrix for each fruit’s process. This process allowed to identify wich process is the most impacting and wich activity causes the most quantity of impacts
