Diseño e implementación de un modelo de huerto familiar biointensivo como alternativa para la seguridad alimentaria, en la comunidad San Vicente del Nila, parroquia Luz de América, cantón Santo Domingo, provincia Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas

The present research work: “Diseño e implementación de un modelo de huerto familiar biointensivo como alternativa para la seguridad alimentaria, en la comunidad San Vicente del Nila, parroquia Luz de América, cantón Santo Domingo, provincia Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas””, was carried out prior to the diagnostics of the whole community, in terms of agricultural production in the orchards. The specific objectives of the project were: To carry out a situational diagnosis of vegetable cultivation in the community of San Vicente del Nila, to design and implement a biointensive family garden design, to determine its profitability and to socialize the results of the research. In order to comply with the objectives set, a diagnosis was made to know the way of cultivating, the technology used and the products that are obtained, later the training was done to the residents of the community, which explained about the biointensive method and organic agriculture, in addition to the production of fertilizers based on organic waste and manure, then the design and implementation of the biointensive orchards. In this way the following results were determined: 40% of the families destine their agricultural production to the family consumption, whereas only 60% commercialize a part of their products, in nearby markets, the main products that are obtained from the gardens are green banana, tomato and yuca, which Are sown in a traditional way, without considering the space or the association of crops. Three biointensive four-bed orchards were set up with the association of crops considered relevant for their mutual support in nitrogen fixation, pollination and pest and disease prevention, as well as community needs Because they are the foods most consumed by families. In the first and second bed was associated carrot, lettuce, white onion and radish, where 12 pound of carrot, 34 lettuce, 32 white onion plants and 42 radish plants were obtained. In the third and fourth bed was associated: broccoli, parsley, cilantro and celery, in these beds were harvested: 26 peppers, 10 tied parsley, 13 coriander and 11 celery. In order to determine the economic profitability of the production, the calculations of costs and revenues were made, therefore the costs of production were of 175 $, the total revenue received from the sale of the crops was of 124.05 $. The net benefit of biointensive production was -0.51 $, the cost benefit ratio of 0.71 $ which indicates that the money invested does not recover in the first crop and the profitability percentage is 0.29%, it is An indicator that measures the relationship between the investment gain and the cost of the investment by showing what percentage of the money has been earned and which percentage has been recovered. Residents of the "San Vicente del Nila " community were satisfied with the results obtained in both harvests and profits and will continue to carry out the present research project. It is recommended to use the beds, germinators and seeds that have the first crop to save production costs and thus increase profits.
