APPROACH AND INNOVATION

Tree of Vegetables Rural y Urbano (AHRU)

•This invention is the result of the need of the entrepreneur to offer alternatives for the production of vegetables and other useful plants for subsistence of the displaced population by violence in the city of Quibdó, Chocó.

•My involvement as an entrepreneur starts with the conception of the idea; implementation of pilot orchards; research and development. It is currently in the process of patenting. •The AHRU is conceived as a tool to facilitate the cultivation of vegetables and other plants useful for families in displacement condition, implemented by women heads of household.
