Resumen
Ubica al proyecto de Infantes y Salud
Ambiental (ISA) en el contexto social, ambiental, económico y cultural de la zona
de Talamanca. La zona de Talamanca se ha convertido en una región pluricultural,
donde conviven además de los Bribris y Cabécares, pobladores autóctonos con
más de 7000 años de habitar la región, inmigrantes de descendencia africana,
mestizos del valle central y Nicaragua , inmigrantes provenientes de China y
Europa, y pobladores del vecino país de Panamá, cuyos principales
representantes son de la etnia Ngäbe, los cuales constituyen una importante mano
de obra en las plantaciones de banano y plátano, del valle de Sixaola.
Entender este contexto tanto desde el enfoque eco-sistémico en salud humana,
como desde el área de alternativas agroecológicas al uso de agroquímicos, es
importante y necesario para el proyecto Infantes y Salud Ambiental (ISA) para el
desarrollo y validación de estrategias, que promuevan la disminución del uso de
agroquímicos en la producción del cultivo de plátano, como principal alcance de
esta investigación participativa,
Lograr una reducción del uso de plaguicidas y de la exposición en comunidades
con diferentes sistemas de producción del banano y plátano poniendo a prueba
diferentes estrategias para reducir los riesgos de exposición, es uno de los
grandes componentes del proyecto Infantes y Salud Ambiental
(www.isa.una.ac.cr). Proyecto que hace parte de los estudios del Instituto Regional
de Estudios en Sustancias Tóxicas (IRET) de la Universidad Nacional.
Locate the Infants and Health project Environmental Assessment (ISA) in the social, environmental, economic and cultural context of the area of Talamanca. The Talamanca area has become a multicultural region, where, in addition to the Bribris and Cabécares, native inhabitants live with more than 7000 years of living in the region, immigrants of African descent, mestizos from the central valley and Nicaragua, immigrants from China and Europe, and people from the neighboring country of Panama, whose representatives are from the Ngäbe ethnic group, which constitute an important hand of work in the banana and plantain plantations of the Sixaola Valley. Understanding this context both from the eco-systemic approach to human health, as well as from the area of agro-ecological alternatives to the use of agrochemicals, is important and necessary for the Infants and Environmental Health (ISA) project for development and validation of strategies, which promote the reduction of the use of agrochemicals in the production of the banana crop, as the main scope of this participatory research, Achieving a reduction in pesticide use and exposure in communities with different banana and plantain production systems testing different strategies to reduce exposure risks, is one of the major components of the Infants and Environmental Health project (www.isa.una.ac.cr). Project that is part of the studies of the Regional Institute of Studies in Toxic Substances (IRET) of the National University.
