00:01The Jardin Botánico de Bogotá, since 2004,
00:05developed a project of agriculture for the whole city
00:07in search of strengthening the agricultural processes
00:11that are developed in the urban area or periurbana of the capital district.
00:23This huerta has almost 20 years.
00:26It started from 2004, which is when the Jardin Botánico began with this process
00:30and has been suffering transformations.
00:32Today we have combined with some ornamental species
00:36where we have incorporated polinizadores around it.
00:40And they have a very beautiful point,
00:42which is that in the central part,
00:44we have our seeds,
00:45which we have found in the whole nation.
00:49We made some contact with custodians
00:51and guardians of seeds
00:51to give us those limp seeds
00:53that have been worked in a way ancestral,
00:55that are not contaminated,
00:58with no chemicals,
00:59that have been transformed
01:00or altered,
01:01that are native.
01:02And with all this capital
01:03we are nourishing
01:05the 10 banks of seeds
01:06that currently exist in 10 localities of Bogotá.
01:09Actualmente,
01:10we have specific lines
01:11that we are providing
01:13to the urban farmers
01:14to develop other elements
01:17that can strengthen
01:19scenarios that are linked
01:20to the nutritional security
01:22and nutritional security,
01:22as well as the gastro botanica
01:24where we give us tools
01:26that with the fresh products
01:27they can generate
01:29other types of products
01:31associated,
01:32that is,
01:33high gastronomy
01:34or products transformed
01:36with these elements.
01:37In this moment,
01:38we have formed
01:38and strengthened
01:4019 local networks
01:41and a district network.
01:43The district network
01:44is formed
01:45by volunteers.
01:46Our work is basically
01:48to strengthen
01:49those networks
01:50through the social structure
01:53of the strategies
01:54offered from
01:56agriculture urban
01:56such as commercialization,
01:58transformation,
02:00the health and well-being
02:01and the technical part.
02:02The networks
02:03are those spaces
02:04where they can participate
02:06the different workers
02:07of the city
02:08to exchange
02:10knowledge
02:10and experiences
02:12that they allow
02:13the tools
02:14to empower
02:16their homes
02:17and work
02:18the part
02:18of the management.
02:19It is a benefit
02:20that the district
02:20has generated
02:21for all the inhabitants
02:22of the city
02:23and that today
02:24has very potential scenarios
02:27such as
02:28the agroecological markets
02:30and all
02:31a series
02:32of events
02:33that we are developing
02:34in Bogotá
02:34in the local areas
02:36so that our farmers
02:37are known
02:38in their territory
02:39and they can have
02:40additional income
02:40that covers
02:41those other
02:42elements
02:43that are not
02:43and that we need
02:44for our subsistence
02:46daily.
02:46The huertas
02:47that we are implementing
02:48in the city
02:48are huertas
02:49that can be developed
02:50in a small
02:51box,
02:52like our grandparents
02:53and in that
02:54we can have two plants
02:56of horticulture,
02:57a aromatic
02:57and a fruit.
02:59And from that small space
03:00we started to create,
03:02to know
03:03and to get us
03:04in the field
03:04of agriculture
03:05in horticulture,
03:07in horticulture,
03:08in horticulture,
03:09and community
03:10and now,
03:11in that advance
03:11that has been
03:12the normative
03:12in Bogotá,
03:13we can think
03:14about huertas
03:15that can be developed
03:16in public spaces.
03:17To all those
03:17who want to be part
03:18of the agriculture project,
03:20I want to say,
03:20they have already
03:21the possibility,
03:22they are already
03:22in the field,
03:24and they will have
03:2782 professionals
03:28from the different areas
03:30of environmental
03:30and social
03:32they will visit,
03:33and they will
03:34enjoy the first
03:36harvest
03:36when they have
03:37their horticulture
03:38in production.
03:38Apart from
03:39sending the request
03:40to the
03:40www.agricultureurbana.com
03:43It is necessary
03:45that the interested person
03:46has a space.
03:48From the urban agriculture project
03:49we manage
03:50three activities
03:51mainly.
03:53The first activity
03:53is a technical assistance
03:55in which
03:55one of the professionals
03:56that is part
03:57of this project
03:58will visit
03:59to the space
04:00where they want to implement
04:01the horticulture
04:01and give them
04:02all the knowledge
04:03that the horticulture
04:05will be able
04:05to implement
04:06the horticulture.
04:06A partir
04:07of the technical assistance
04:08the professional
04:09identifies
04:10what are the needs
04:11of the space
04:12to do a second activity
04:13that in this case
04:14is the fortification.
04:16That fortification
04:17that we give us
04:18depends
04:18first of all
04:20the area of the horticulture,
04:21the space as well,
04:22the conditions
04:23in which the space is
04:24the space,
04:25the disponibility
04:26of materials
04:27here
04:28and the needs
04:29of the person
04:30as well.
04:31We manage
04:31basic courses
04:32where we manage
04:34five modules
04:35that are certified
04:36and we manage
04:38also specialized courses
04:39so that is
04:41generally
04:42what is the project
04:43of the urban agriculture
04:44project.
04:44We invite
04:45you to send
04:46the email
04:47to the Jardin Botanical
04:49and to implement
04:49their work.
