In this episode, we accompany Álvaro Palacio, CEO of Asofrucol, to the Miravalle district in Valle del Cauca, where we visit Patricia Mejía's El Horizonte farm. This visionary farmer shares with us how she has implemented the Tropical Agriculture model, an agroecological practice focused on reducing costs, protecting the environment and obtaining high-quality products. Through techniques such as the use of mountain microorganisms, the elimination of chemical herbicides and the application of biological insecticides, Patricia has managed to transform her Tahiti lime crop, achieving healthy trees and improving production. Discover how this sustainable approach has not only allowed production costs to be reduced by up to 50%, but has also improved the quality of her lemons, achieving their certification for export. Learn about the benefits of natural pollination, the positive impact on biodiversity and the importance of international certifications to access foreign markets. This is an inspiring example of how Colombian farmers can adopt sustainable models to ensure productivity and competitiveness in the global market. #SustainableAgriculture #OrganicProduction #Environment #Lemons #Agriculture Follow us on our social networks: Facebook: / tvagro Instagram: / tvagro Twitter: / tvagro / juangangel Website: http://www.tvagro.tv/ Watch our video on how to increase the productivity of the Tahiti lemon: • How to increase the productivity of the...
