Field of Study:

Agricultural Engineering; Instituto Profesional, Instituto Nacional de Capacitacion (INACAP)

I believe that my study has much to benefit the island specially in the hydric crisis that is suffering this island, affecting directly to the agricultures if they don't have a water accumulator or irrigation system is very hard and sacrificed cultivate, also the cattle ranchers are being affected suffering animal loose because there is no water on the field were they live so there is not enough herb to eat. Because of the isolated location of the island to the continent I believe that is important to support to agricultures and cattle ranchers in the way of make more sustainable the island and trying no to depend and bring everything from the mail field like fruits, vegetables and meat, that was a situation that we lived in the pandemic it was very difficult to find some fresh vegetables.
