Lombricultura como estrategia sostenible para el aprovechamiento de residuos Agroindustriales en el Recinto La Yolanda

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this research was to incorporate vermiculture to solve the problem of agro industrial waste management and agricultural productivity in the La Yolanda area. A mixed approach methodology was used with semi-structured interviews with inhabitants and experts, in addition to a pertinent literature review. The results observed indicate that the community has a high willingness to implement this technique, in addition to the technical feasibility and economic viability perceived in the genesis of research. A value proposal was also proposed at the local level that integrates environmental, productive and socio-cultural components. It is defended that vermiculture is a practical way to face the drawback of waste production of waste by obtaining organic fertilizer, improving soil fertility and circular economy. This research contributes to strengthen the dissemination of sustainable agroecological practices in rural areas, as well as to guide future research and trade projects.
