HUYRO Smart Ecological Farm in Peru, an Approach to Sustainability
Abstract
The present work shows the results of the Huyro Ecological Farm project during its first 6 years of operation in Cusco, Peru. In an attempt to make it 100% sustainable and self-sufficient, many efforts were made to supply energy, water, communications and even food security within the 3 hectares of tropical wetland land. This paper presents the evaluation of the sustainability of the project that includes the operation of renewable energy equipment and its validation in the field, in order to create a policy that allows the transfer and commercialization of the technologies used on farm to the community. With the use of the Star of Sustainability method we are able to see, visually and efficiently, the process of sustainability of technological projects.
