abstract

  • Sustainable development is a priority goal at the Tecnológico de Monterrey; sustainability is sought as a competency for graduation in all academic programs under the TEC21 educational model. This ability should permeate laboratories and physical facilities, particularly in the Experimental Agricultural Field of Tecnológico de Monterrey (CAETEC). This is a space where collaborative projects of companies and technological development groups are carried out; in addition the CAETEC is also a space for comprehensive learning projects for students from various academic programs. This project's goal is to optimize the water resource of the milk withdrawal stables in order to recover the highest percentage of water used during the operation and treat it for agricultural irrigation via innovative and profitable processes. The current study demonstrates how agile and traditional methodologies were combined to create small sustainable development projects that converge in a single initiative to achieve the goals of reducing water consumption and wastewater treatment for use in precision agriculture projects. © 2023 by The authors.
