Desarrollo de la iniciativa CatiNar en zonas rurales de Nariño con automatización en sistema de riego, secador de café y vivero.

Abstract

Based on the research process of CatiNar (Center for Appropriation in Science, Technology and Innovation of Nariño), an initiative of the government of Nariño aimed at achieving the social appropriation of knowledge; the needs of each locality were identified, and the deve lopment of 3 projects in 3 townships of the municipalities of Taminango and La Cruz in the department of Nariño was proposed. These projects are a coffee dryer, an irrigation system and a nursery, in which programs such as Inventor were used for the design and Arduino for the programming and automation of processes, as well as technology that allowed the moni toring of the different variables present in each of them. As a result, it was observed that the projects developed had a positive impact and resolved the problems identified in the study sites. One of the main conclusions was that the approach, support and active participation of the community and professionals from different areas of knowledge was achieved for the development and construction of the prototypes.
