Resumen

This Final Degree Project deals with a project implemented in the buffer zone of the biosphere reserve of Manu National Park (Peru). The base location is the MLC (Manu Learning Centre) lodge, owned by the NGO Crees Manu S.A.C. where numerous biology projects aimed at the conservation of flora and fauna are carried out. The closest urban center to this location is the capital of the Madre de Dios region (Salvación), from where several horticulture and renewable energy projects were carried out in the native communities of Matsiguenga, Harakbut and Mashco Piro, and in the highland settler communities that migrated to the edge of the jungle in search of a better quality of life. Seeking to solve the numerous problems that we find in this area, the idea arises to unify the different proposals and experience gained by proposing a single project for sustainable horticultural production in the MLC, where the following points can be differentiated: On the one hand, the Horticulture Project, in which it has been foreseen: H.1).- The obtaining of biocompost from plant remains obtained from crops and kitchen waste, animal feces, litter, sawdust and taking advantage of mountain microorganisms, with the aim of a subsequent use of this for the cultivation of vegetables. H.2).- The construction of a bio-garden for the production of vegetables, using minimum resources: a) native wood of the area "ANA" waterproofed with burnt oil (obtained from motor boats, used for river transport), b) fencing with old fishing netting to prevent animal access, and a long-lasting Bolivian phytotolde. The biocomposting and the management of the biogarden are monitored periodically, instructing beneficiaries on soil preparation, planting, crop rotation depending on the species to be grown, weeding, and biological control from a minimum impact point of view. On the other hand, due to the climatic conditions of the area (high temperatures and humidity), a Renewable Energy project was proposed to support the conservation and easy handling of the food obtained in the bio-garden for later consumption or commercialization: R.1).- Photovoltaic Energy: Installation of a photovoltaic generator in the lodge, consisting of 6 modules of 300 Wp, each, which are responsible for charging a series of batteries to provide electricity supply to various domestic receivers during the day and to the lighting of the kitchen enclosure during the night. The project was carried out satisfactorily, leaving it in the hands of the NGO Crees Manu S.A.C. and the next interns of the MERIDIES program who will be in charge of its management and maintenance
