IDEAAS
THE QUIRON PROJECT
Goals:• Solve problems of income generation• Introduce a steady cash flow to the families• Improve the quality of life• Bring a new future perspective to the
people and rural families• Improve the local environmental quality
(water, waste management, biodiversity)• Productive use of energy
THE QUIRON PROJECT
EQUATION:
• Energy + Adequate technology + Biodiversity Management + Processes of social development = Income Generation + Better quality of life + Conservation of natural processes and biodiversity = Better common future
THE QUIRON PROJECTRenewable energy

THE QUIRON PROJECTIncome Generation
The goal is to provide:• Quick income generation (short term)• Diversified origins of family cash flow
(medium term)• Steady family cash flow (long term)

Projected Income (month)
THE QUIRON PROJECTAlfalfa
• High nutrition for cattle• Cultivated all over the world• High concentration of protein, 22-25%• High productivity, up to 20,000
kg/ha/year• Average capacity for 54 kg milk/day• Lack of supply• Uses family labor• Uses small agricultural areas
THE QUIRON PROJECTAlfalfa
Revenues• Costs of production/ha - US $ 835• Average productivity – 13,500 kg/ha/year• Gross revenue US $ 2,250• Operational profit US $ 1,815/year after 4
years
THE QUIRON PROJECTVineyards
• Small areas in rural properties which are not subjected to any other uses
• Uses family labor• Establishes agricultural programs
compatible with property area and number of people in the family
• Roots people to their properties• Reduces rural exodus• Reduces poverty belts around urban areas
THE QUIRON PROJECTVineyards
THE QUIRON PROJECTVineyards
• Region selected due to soil, climate, and available technology
• Market in development• Lack of supply for local wine producer• Production of grapes for fine wines and
juice
THE QUIRON PROJECTVineyards
Costs and productionImplementation: US $ 8,367
Production: year 1 – 3,000 kg/hayear 2 – 8,000 kg/hayear 4 and on – 18,000 kg/ha
THE QUIRON PROJECTVineyards
Revenues• year 1 – US $ 1,000• year 2 – US $ 2,700• year 4 and on – US $ 6,000Net benefit• US $ 3,170Relation of
investment/benefit = 1:2 High profit
THE QUIRON PROJECT Forest production with native species
1 Survey of species per potential of use
2 Survey of carpenters and saw mills

THE QUIRON PROJECT Forest production with native species
If 5 hectares are planted,1 per year,
the model generates annual income.
THE QUIRON PROJECT Forest production with native species
• Diversity in income sources• Short, medium and long term action• Compatibility with environmental
conservation• Innovative in combining technology
and sustainable development
