REVITALIZING ROOTS THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM, COLOMBIA
Revitalizing Roots Through Community-Based Tourism, Colombia
The project aims to promote traditional knowledge and agroforestry revitalization towards contributing to sustainable food systems in the archipelago and linking community-based tourism. Two ways to combat and mitigate impacts of climate change: restoration of ecosystems and reduction of GHG emission related to the supply chain of food systems in the islands, through the diversification of tourism products and the implementation of community-managed nursery.
THE ISSUE
As a small island, any derived challenges comes from over-population that demands local terrestrial and sea food and poor tourism strategies such as all-inclusive trips. Both, causing overfishing and misuse of the land which threatens biodiversity and local customs.
THE GOAL
Local families that bring tourism to witness the unique way of living and getting fresh and organic food in an isolated island of Colombia.
