Agro Park Sitio Grande - Tabasco

Environmental Sustainability

The “Agro Park Sitio Grande” initiative has been active from 2018 to 2025 in the state of Tabasco, in the municipality of Teapa, with a social, environmental, and economic approach.

This initiative integrates agroecological production with educational tourism experiences. It emerged as a response to the need to diversify the rural economy, revalue traditional agricultural practices, and promote environmental awareness among visitors and local communities.

Visitors take part in interpretive tours where they learn about agroecology and organic farming techniques, efficient use of natural resources (water, solar energy, and composting), biodiversity, and local gastronomy. Additionally, the initiative promotes community participation, fair trade, and the training of local producers in rural tourism and sustainability.

Main impacts and results of this initiative:

• 25 hectares of agroecological production under organic and sustainable practices.

• Participation of more than 120 local producers in the operation and management of the agro park.

• 8,000 visitors (nature and scientific tourism), along with 250 workshops and courses on agroecology, rural tourism, and sustainability.

• An estimated increase of more than 35% in income for families linked to the agro park.

• More than 15 tons of organic crops and derivatives produced annually.

• 5 hectares of reforestation and maintenance of local ecosystems.

• 5 strategic partnerships with public and educational institutions for technical strengthening and tourism promotion.
