Centro de capacitación y formación empresarial para el sector floricultor en Madrid, Cundinamarca (ccaflor)

Abstract

Floriculture is a fundamental part of Colombia's agricultural exports, being the basis of the country's economy, due to its climatic and soil characteristics, the municipality of Madrid in Cundinamarca is appropriate for the development of this activity and despite the fact that the floriculture industry was established in the country since 1968 and the creation of ASOCOLFLORES (Colombian Association of Flower Exporters) entity that is in charge of monitoring and governing the companies that export the product, there are problems within the sector that have meant the economic decrease of companies, the lack of social responsibility with workers and the abuse of natural resources within the municipality. A solution is proposed from the architecture through a business training and training center that has exhibition spaces and practical and theoretical education for the growth and reinforcement of business competitiveness, training to improve the techniques of the sector workers and implementation of sustainable practices that mitigate current environmental damage, in order to generate development for the industry and the municipality of Madrid.
