Huertos urbanos y periurbanos horizontales-verticales para el fomento de la educación ambiental sostenible

Abstract:

The objective of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of a training program based on vertical horizontal urban and peri-urban gardens in promoting sustainable environmental education for agronomy students at the Polytechnic Superior School of Chimborazo, Orellana campus (Ecuador). The deductive method uses explanatory research based on a quasi-experimental design, with an experimental and control group, and pre- and post-tests. The results show that there was bilateral significance for the experimental group, suggesting that the applied treatment was effective in the population sample. It is concluded that students can manage social connection projects with emphasis on environmental sustainability by leading the organization of urban agricultural communities and by promoting endogenous economic growth culture.
