Rio Muchacho
The main objective of the Río Muchacho farm is to demonstrate sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices that promote soil conservation, responsible water use, and biodiversity. Organic farming techniques, such as crop rotation, composting and agroforestry, are implemented to minimize environmental impact and promote ecosystem health.
In addition, the project is dedicated to environmental education, providing training and workshops to local farmers, students, and visitors. It seeks to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability and provide tools for the implementation of responsible agricultural practices.
