             Through these workshops, information was provided to farmers to learn   that inhabit it; in the water due to infiltration into the soil, which can

             Discussion
             The farmers of Sachica Boyacá recognized the consequences that
             post-consumer agricultural containers have on the environment and
             human health if they are not properly rinsed, they were also taught the
             importance of taking care and protecting themselves when applying
             these inputs to tomatoes.
             A great benefit of this inquiry was that the farmers learned about the
             importance of triple washing techniques, and the benefits they bring to
             the environment, and will carry them out, they also recognized the

             collection route of empty agricultural containers by the company
             CropLife in this municipality.
             This helps farmers to understand that this can be a great solution to
             reduce environmental pollution and it would be a great help if all farmers
             know and apply these washing techniques to have a healthier
             environment in the future.
