El Centro Mesoamericano de Desarrollo Sostenible del Trópico Seco(CEMEDE) de la Universidad Nacional,  de la Sede Regional Chorotega, Campus Nicoya,   inició   en   el   año   2014   el   proyecto:   Establecimiento   y   manejo   de   fincas pecuarias integradas aledañas al ecosistema de humedal de las Áreas Silvestres Protegidas (ASP) Mata Redonda y Corral de Piedra, propiamente en el espacio geográfico que corresponde a la comunidad de Rosario de Nicoya; su objetivo era construir   participativamente   alternativas   de   manejo   integrado   con   ganaderos aledaños   a   las   ASP,   mediante   la   implementación   y   evaluación   de   tecnologías agropecuarias   sostenibles,   que   permitan   el   aumento   en   la   rentabilidad   de   su negocio,   reduciendo   el   impacto   sobre   los   ecosistemas   de   humedal   y   la vulnerabilidad   ante   los   efectos   del   cambio   climático.   Debido   a   las   necesidades encontradas en la comunidad y para dar seguimiento a las mismas, en el 2017 se inició   el   proyecto:   Fortalecimiento   de   las   capacidades   empresariales   y   de desarrollo comunal de Asociación de Pequeños Ganaderos de la Laguna de Mata Redonda, su  objetivo  era  mejorar el  sistema  productivo  y comercial  de  la leche mediante el fortalecimiento de capacidades de esta Asociación. Los   dos   proyectos   mencionados   anteriormente   han   sido   fundamentales   para   el desarrollo humano y la sostenibilidad ambiental de la comunidad de Rosario de Nicoya. El presente artículo recopila los principales resultados obtenidos a partir de la implementación de ambas iniciativas en la comunidad de Rosario de Nicoya, así como los principales beneficios para los participantes en materia de desarrollo comunal, económico y ambiental.
