📋 Tender Overview
Huertos modules allow families to diversify their diet, generate income and contribute to the recovery of areas damaged by illegal activities.Villagers of the Native Communities El Pilar, San Jacinto and Kotsimba, in Madre de Dios, participated in a practical workshop for the elaboration of organic bioabones, with the aim of recovering their soils and improving the production of vegetables in their family gardens.
The activity is part of the additional demand promoted by the Institute of Research of the Peruvian Amazon (IIAP), an entity attached to the Ministry of Environment, to restore 250 hectares affected by illegal gold mining, which has degraded soil fertility, polluted water sources.
Faced with this scenario, the use of bioabones made with local inputs allows to improve soil quality without resorting to chemicals. In addition to reducing production costs, this alternative favors a healthier food and strengthens the autonomy of communities.
As IIAP, our commitment is to continue providing technical accompaniment and strengthen the capacities of the communities so that they can recover their degraded lands and at the same time ensure their food. This is an important step towards the productive and sustainable Amazon that we want to leave the next generations, said Ing. Agro. Ronald Corvera Gomringer, Regional Director of the IIAP in Madre de Dios.
Huertos modules allow families to diversify their diet, generate income and contribute to the recovery of areas damaged by illegal activities, demonstrating that it is possible to produce food taking care of the land and the environment.
