Abstract

Introduction: This research identifies the economic,
financial and technical feasibility for the production
of microalgae from wastewater produced in the Barzalosa irrigation district in Alto Magdalena (Girardot
Cundinamarca - Colombia); algae that are used as fish
food and the production of repellent based on the seeds of 1330 Neem trees (Azadirachta Indica), a non-native species present in the municipality of Girardot, accepted by the local inhabitants who use it to attenuate the intensity of sunlight. Both resources, abundant in the region, present opportunities to develop sustainable
products that contribute to food security and pest control. Economic viability depends on the implementation
of sustainable cultivation practices and a constant
supply of raw materials.
