Life quality and sustainability for hog breeders

2015
Book Chapters

Abstract

Located in Cajamarquilla, district of Lurigancho - Chosica, the project area is characterized by informal, unhealthy and high pollution hog breeding; generating low incomes and no competitiveness. Therefore, intervention strategies have been designed for the development of hog breeding: (i) Implementation of a sustainable breeding system; (ii) Development of production chains to improve the sanitary and commercial status of the farms, through associativity; (iii) Promote the efficient use of waste generated in farms, reducing the rates of local environmental pollution through the production of bio fertilizers.

Waste management

Waste management or waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws, technologies, and economic mechanisms. Waste can be solid, liquid, or gases and each type has different methods of disposal and management.

Waste

Waste (or wastes) are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use. A by-product, by contrast is a joint product of relatively minor economic value. A waste product may become a by-product, joint product or resource through an invention that raises a waste product's value above zero. Examples include municipal solid waste (household trash/refuse), hazardous waste, wastewater (such as sewage, which contains bodily wastes (feces and urine) and surface runoff), radioactive waste, and others.

Sustainable development

Sustainable development is an organizing principle that aims to meet human development goals while also enabling natural systems to provide necessary natural resources and ecosystem services to humans. The desired result is a society where living conditions and resources meet human needs without undermining the planetary integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development tries to find a balance between economic development, environmental protection, and social well-being.
