Diseño de la implementación de producción cunícula en sistema de agricultura urbana, en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The Urban Farms and Rabbit Breeding Project in the city of Guayaquil is a project that seeks to encourage people to cultivate urban gardens, and the consumption of rabbit meat in order to provide the population with selfsufficiency. Urban areas in Ecuador, are increasingly populated and spaces for agriculture are smaller, therefore, considering that an urban garden can be developed in a relatively small area, the proposal is attractive, while at the same time they grow vegetables, these serve as food for rabbits that, strategically located, 25 cm from the composting bed, they feed on the green material of the garden. At the same time, the manure that comes from the rabbit is used to produce organic fertilizer that is used for the cultivation of vegetables. It is important to consider several factors for the success of this proposal, such as: the adequate management of the animals in terms of their health, feeding and reproduction, and pest control in vegetables. This proposal opens a range of opportunities, since it offers society the option of producing for themselves and creating a source of income.
