Development of a community agroforestry reserve with native species from the semi-arid region for soil conservation, the recovery of endangered species, and the production of agroecological bio-inputs and healthy foods, through community networks with a gender perspective, in the Ojo de Agua Abajo community, Lara State. |
| Project Detail |
THE PROJECT WILL BE AIMED AT RESTORING THE LANDSCAPE OF THE OJO DE AGUA ABAJO COMMUNITY, JIMÉNEZ MUNICIPALITY, LARA STATE; A COMMUNITY AFFECTED BY DEFORESTATION, SOIL EROSION, AND DESERTIFICATION, CAUSED BY THE LOSS OF IMPORTANT TIMBER SPECIES FOR THE SEMI-ARID ECOSYSTEM, A RESULT OF THE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR CHARCOAL PRODUCTION, AS WELL AS THE USE OF AN AGRICULTURAL MODEL BASED ON MONOCULTURE AND CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS, WITHOUT ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT. THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY AGROFORESTRY RESERVE THAT WILL ALLOW THE REFORESTATION AND CONSERVATION OF SPECIES. FOR THIS PURPOSE, NURSERIES WILL BE ESTABLISHED, AGROECOLOGICAL PLOTS OF TIMBER, FRUIT AND FODDER SPECIES WILL BE CREATED, THE INSTALLATION OF WORM FARMERS, AS WELL AS THE PREPARATION, DISTRIBUTION AND SALE OF SOLID AND LIQUID ORGANIC FERTILIZERS MADE WITH LOCAL RESOURCES, WHICH WILL BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH A LOCAL NETWORK, WHICH WILL BE ORGANIZED WITH A GENDER APPROACH. |
