Productive strategy for alternative use of compost at the Police Aviation School

Abstract

This reflection article arose from the need to develop and implement a productive strategy for the proper and useful management of compost produced from organic waste at the Police Aviation School, using two approaches: environmental and social. For the development of this research, two relevant aspects of the diverse applications of composting were considered: first, its use in the production of ornamental plants, and second, its use in the agricultural sector as organic fertilizer. To ensure an effective development cycle, a work plan was created within institutional policies, providing guidelines and establishing responsibilities for the different actors in the strategy. Once the production process was consolidated, the delivery of the final product to the early childhood education community located in the municipality of Mariquita, Tolima, was protocolized.
