Proceso de ASC - INVESTIGACION-CREACION: APROPIACION SOCIAL DEL CONOCIMIENTO A TRAVES DEL DISEÑO DE UN MODELO DE HUERTA URBANA EN MEDELLIN

Abstract

Malnutrition and food insecurity are two complex problems that Colombia, like the rest of the world, is trying to solve. Urban gardens have been an option that some countries and cities have used to mitigate this crisis, as this strategy allows households to have chemical-free food permanently, to satisfy their own consumption. Around the world, this initiative has been widely used for communities and cities to overcome poverty and food crises. It is for these reasons that the SMART and INSIGHT Seedbed, both from the Marketing and Innovation area of ​​the EAFIT University School of Administration, as well as the Culturama seedbed, from the Faculty of Design of the Pontifical Bolivarian University, propose this research project. that seeks to contribute to the social appropriation of knowledge in sustainability through the design of an urban garden model in Medellín that is sustainable and replicable to other environments. The social appropriation of knowledge in sustainability will permeate not only the people of the communities chosen to create the gardens, but also the students of the seedbeds participating in the project.
