These projects are aimed at improving the living conditions of families from river sustainable agriculture, with the incorporation of management practices and appropriate soil conservation in mountain areas, especially in the Andean ecoregion.

The internship offers have bearing both on the proper use of agricultural areas as the use and exploitation of natural resources in a watershed, in order to achieve increased crop yields. The methodology is based on consensus and participation, creating a degree of ownership as the basis for the sustainability of the actions in the watershed.

These measures also contribute to the environmental balance of the area, offsetting the erosion and soil loss, while generating positive effects for areas of influence of the basins.

The developed methodology, based on participation and consensus, consider the farm as a unit of production planning taking into account the ability and potential of each area of ??the land, where different practices have an impact on diversification, growth and quality of production, which in turn affect higher incomes for families.

Some of the practices covered by this type of project are:

	Mechanical techniques such as building terraces of slow formation terraces banking or absorption trenches and other construction.
	Agronomic techniques such as tillage, agroforestry plantations, hedgerows, trees and thickets boundaries of multiple use.
	Management of crops from soil preparation and planting, cultural practices, phytosanitary treatments, organic fertilizers and crop management.
	Optimization of water systems such as sprinkler irrigation.
	· Rotation and diversification of production.
