Llega a España por vez primera un curso completo sobre Agricultura, Viveros y Bioingeniería Vetiver.

En la finca Ekkofood, Bétera, Comunidad Valenciana, el especialista en Bioingeniería Vetiver, Coordinador de The Vetiver Network International para Latinoamérica, Rafael Luque Mirabal, con más de 25 años de experiencia estará transmitiendo su pericia con vetiver durante los días 5 y 6 de julio 2025.

El Sistema Vetiver (SV) brinda grandes aportes a la agricultura al controlar procesos erosivos, retener humedad en los suelos lo que incrementa la productividad y fomenta la formación de la micro y macro biota. Además de que sirve como cultivo trampa de plagas.

También es empleado para estabilizar taludes, evitando deslaves. Igualmente se emplea exitosamente para controlar inundaciones intempestivas producidas por fuertes lluvias, como las causadas por el DANA el año pasado en la Comunidad Valenciana. El SV es además una herramienta ideal para planificar Resiliencia Ambiental.

Aproveche esta oportunidad en que Rafael Luque, de Venezuela estará visitando a España durante breve tiempo, para aprender el manejo adecuado del vetiver, una gramínea usada en agricultura, Bioingeniería y Fitorremediación de suelos y aguas en más de 100 países.
