Resumen
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.
