The team that makes up the International Agricultural Marketing Agency Foundation,

AIMAGRO, is a group of professionals with experience in the agricultural sector in Latin

America who, in addition to a very profound friendship of more than two decades,

cultivate a great passion for the work in the field. As a result of our experiences in

several countries of the region, we have offered and suggested solutions to many of

the problems that affect productivity in the tropics; in that regard mistakes and

successes were made that allow us today to have a clear and objective horizon of what

can and should be done to improve productivity in agriculture; generate wealth;

implement new technologies and promote development in the field; reduce levels of

poverty and hunger and malnutrition within our communities. For this, we generate

strategic programs and projects directed to the countryside that are environmentally

friendly, ecologically viable, with a great sense of social responsibility and a marked

orientation of marketing, all

designed to minimize the variables that negatively affect the agricultural producer in the

process of production, training, and support - including the entire logistics process to

efficiently carry his products and the fruits of his labor to the final consumer.

What is this program about? A novel program created by the Aimagro Foundation,

International Agricultural Marketing Agency, as a valuable tool for the post-conflict era,

after the signing of a peace agreement between the guerrilla group FARC,

Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and the Colombian government. The

Operation Milagro program integrates agro-industrial projects aimed at training

peasants, reinserting parties and other victims of the armed conflict, cultural ethnic

groups, indigenous communities, those displaced by violence, orphans, the disabled,

women heads of household, ex-military, etc., with the express intention of prioritizing

development in socially depressed areas and/or those directly affected by the armed

conflict suffered throughout the Colombian countryside for more than 50 years.

The problem All these years of armed conflict leave in many regions of Colombian

agriculture, thousands of displaced families, little social investment by the state, poor

infrastructure, poor public services and absence of training centers. Many peasants and

victims of the conflict in general refuse to, or are resistant to the idea of returning to the

field due to lack of economic resources, disorientation on what to produce, little

knowledge, zero machinery and supplies, etc. that allow them to visualize a promising

future for their family in the short term. The constant prevalent in the Colombian

countryside as shown in the recent national agricultural census and whose results were

presented by the national government in March of 2015 is that of the lack of education,

minimal assistance and technical advice and very low levels of capitalization and/or

investment. The solutions Colombia is facing a historic moment and a unique

opportunity to undertake modern agro-industrial projects. The priority of social

investment is determined in the peace agreements, and it is towards those same

regions that AIMAGRO directs the international aid received for the Operation Milagro

Program. Our proposal is that of creating Agricultural Training

In the Pineapple crop, we started a project of organic fruit production, and we started

the certification process with the company KIWA; advice is needed to concretize

productive process, especially in nutrition and pest control.

In livestock, the idea is also to start a process of obtaining organic meat or at least with

a seal of clean product, since we have the land and livestock base to develop it.

Build new institutional relationships around the agricultural vocation of the Montes de

María sub-region, in order to identify inefficiencies in production through the application

of obsolete practices, in order to stimulate business management and innovation

technological, generating the knowledge that supports a productive, technological,

social and economically sustainable system.

Strengthening the technical capacity of the Umata and Secretariats of Agriculture,

qualifying the human resource through the generation of knowledge and new

technologies to improve technical assistance to farmers and breeders, promoting a true

articulation between the productive sector and the government .

Agrocultura ONG Small http://agrocultur

a.co/

Agrocultura is a strategy to articulate the

different agents that manage agricultural

production in the country.

Agrocultura is based on the postulate that

in order to improve agricultural

productivity, it is essential to coordinate

government entities, private companies

and knowledge-generating institutions,

such as universities. In this way, it iis

important to generate the conditions to

jointly diagnose the complex problems of

field production and propose their

possible solutions, generating the

adequate knowledge to prevent future

effects on production.

This strategy was initiated and

strengthened during one of the

transcendental periods of the country, the

peace agreements that were discussed in

Havana, Cuba and in its essence is

consonant with the National Productive

Development Policy and the National

System of Competitiveness, that the

Colombian Government was promoting

on that important issue.

Rural development Our project ideas are:

- create a school of arts and crafts to encourage and strengthen our culture because of

issues of conflict and lack of support our young people move to other places in search

of opportunities, for this reason has generated the decline of cultural identity in our

community.

- empowerment of indigenous women, the antecedents of violence against indigenous

women are very high and we must seek urgent solutions, our organization has women

leaders who have developed activities and proposals to fight against gender violence,

eradicate discrimination and generate opportunities for women's entrepreneurship.

-productive projects with mothers heads of families, due to the lack of economic

alternatives, many women accept very poorly paid jobs and many hours of work feel

vulnerable due to their situation, they must even look for two or more jobs to cover

household expenses; , create productive associations of women is an alternative that

we propose to generate new opportunities.

-the chagra as part of the solution to climate change, "the Chagra" place where

ancestral knowledge is shared by sowing, harvesting and caring for nature, the

traditional chagras contribute to environmental conservation and the sustainable

production of the community, in the current times monocultures and the use of

chemicals have affected our land considerably to such an extent that some endemic

species of our region have disappeared, returning to the chagra is the best option to

rescue and promote culture and to re-heal the mother earth .

-Festival of Literature, words as a tool for social, cultural and personal transformation,

our organization celebrates in July of the year 2018 the tenth version of the Literature

Festival of Putumayo, it is a space to generate awareness and interest directed to the

Pollination is an important factor in the sustainable production of crops, however, it is

affected by environmental factors or by the dynamics of pollinator populations.

Cenipalma has recently established contacts with the UK company, PBS that develops

pollination bags, and together with them and with researchers from the University of

Greenwich in the UK it is intended to develop a project with the aim of improving

pollination through new bio-products. that allow the attraction of pollinators through the

study of the volatile components that emit flowers, synthesis of bio-products for the

attraction of pollinators and release of these in crops, as expected results there is an

improvement in the quality of the harvest of palm bunches where farmers, especially

The cocoa chain is a chain with enormous potential to generate economic development

in areas affected by the armed conflict in Colombia. However, it presents, amONG

others, the following problems:

1. The low productivity per hectare

2. Sporadic or non-continuous technical assistance

3. Limited access to markets and ignorance of marketing channels

4. Business weakness of producer associations

5. Little integrated pest management

6. Little crop diversification due to lack of economic support

Prospective solutions to these problems: We believe part of the solution to these

problems can start with the increase in the productivity of the crops and the

entrepreneurial strengthening of the associations of producers, so that they themselves

can arrive directly with their products to the national or international markets, paying the

better prices for producers, and covering the costs of technical assistance and other

services required by their producers.

The Corporación Empresarial y Ambiental SHADAI, currently works in the Alto San

Juan, in the districts of Guarato and Tabor rural area of the municipality of Tadó. These

communities have an index of 68% of Unsatisfied Basic Needs, because they lived

through displacement, which is why they have low development capacity.

Shadai aims to improve the capacities of rural youth to create the social capital to

achieve sustainable local development. Shadai proposes the JOSUE program of

promotion and local development focused on youth, which is designed for the

development of 4 results: a first result of psychosocial intervention (developed in 2010,

with attention to 416 young people). The second result of training in human, technical

and administrative development. The third intervention result for the agricultural

strengthening of 40 productive plots and 12 business units that emphasize the

elements of the culture of the Afro-descendant and indigenous ethnic groups and the

fourth result of commercialization of products.

The main strength of the organization is its management capacity and intervention in

vulnerable rural areas. It also has a team of multidisciplinary professionals and good

management of resources, which has allowed us to make a good name for

international cooperation agencies.

We are looking for a partner in the United Kingdom to develop the results of two (2),

three (3) and four (4) of the JOSUE program whose purpose is: to increase the human,

administrative and technical skills of young people to develop the plots of their parents

and ancestors who are currently abandoned, which will be applied technological

processes some of them ancestral as the roofs and others such as micro roofs to

ensure the improvement of agricultural productivity while strengthening agricultural

tropical crops in the area of upper San Juan.

What we intend in having a partner in the United Kingdom is to have support according

to the proposed objectives of cooperation, which can be represented in economic

resources, species or technical assistance to increase the development capacity of the

communities involved and strengthen the management capacity of the organization

Colombia

ONG Medium www.natura.org.

co

During its 34 years, the Natura

Foundation has dedicated itself to finding

different alternatives for the conservation

and sustainable use of biodiversity, which

go beyond work in conservation areas,

which is also one of its working

mechanisms. For this reason, the

foundation has developed a range of

replicable tools anywhere in the country

and many of them in the world.

One of the main lessons learned and

applied is the need to work

comprehensively in socioecosystemic

spaces, that is, where the relationship of

the human being with all other life forms

and biophysical spaces is worked in an

integral way, trying to maintain ecological

integrity, that is, the healthy and

appropriate permanent functioning of

ecosystems on a global and local scale,

as well as their continued provision of

renewable resources and environmental

services. This is why we work at a local

level with a regional perspective, to face

the challenge of global environmental

change.

Working at a local or regional level at the

landscape level, the Foundation's work

proposal is simultaneously to generate

knowledge that allows applying

methodologies that avoid the loss of

biodiversity and lead to its sustainable

use, strengthening the local capacity and

the governance of the communities on

natural resources, maintaining the health

of the ecosystems in such a way as to

provide the necessary environmental

services for the population, leading the

productive system to the implementation

of good practices, restoring key

ecosystems that mitigate the accumulated

environmental damage and making an

integral management of the global

environmental change. All of the above

with cross-cutting issues applied in all its

actors such as education and training,

participation, gender equity and

monitoring and evaluation.

The Foundation in the fulfillment of its

mission works on most issues such as

conservation and sustainable use of

biodiversity, sustainable production

systems, forests, ecological restoration,

protected areas, flora and fauna,

endangered species, climate change,

adaptation measures and mitigation,

commodities, sustainable cities, fishing,

compensation, risk management and in

sustainable production systems as a

measure of adaptation and deforestation.

The work is done by the communities,

indigenous people, Afro-descendants,

peasants, and works equally with the

government, private enterprise, academia

and other local, national and international

ONGs. The Foundation works its projects

with a focus on gender and participation,

in the Amazon, El Chocó biogeographic,

the Andes, the Orinoquia and the Atlantic

coast.

The 34 years of experience have led the Foundation to propose a comprehensive rural

development system in which good agricultural practices are implemented and

production is changed to sustainable systems, but simultaneously these practices lead

to the conservation of biodiversity, of the soils and the waters, a good management of

natural resources is made. These measures are also adopted as processes of

adaptation to global environmental change and seeking territories that are resilient to

climate change, public policies and market prices. These practices are accompanied by

processes of food security and knowledge dissemination, with a fully participatory,

equitable and gender approach. We always seek to give added values to these

programs through a possible certification or verification of the product that opens or

maintains both national and international markets, but if it is not certified, studies have

shown that productivity increases by almost 30%, that quality of life improves markedly

and the health indicators of ecosystems increases. Due to these programs, it is

possible to foresee a decrease in the opening of the agricultural frontier and a decrease

in afforestation, always seeking to reach zero net deforestation. Therefore, and taking

into account the importance that these issues have for UK partners, we believe that it

would be an excellent alliance to bring models of sustainable rural development and

that these can be replicated in the different regions of the country, since part of the

reality of the territory and its people.

Our main idea at the moment is to eliminate the use of chicken manure for the

production of lONG onion, which by the content of it from chicken hatcheries and when

not treated to include it in the food production process generates soil deterioration ,

water pollution, damage to human and animal health, in addition to generating high

production costs due to the amount of chemicals used to fight the different diseases

and pests that attack production, to date we have achieved the application of clean

inputs to produce food without contamination with a view to the exportation of the same

process through dehydration to pulverize it, a process that was endorsed by the

The proposal of Londono's Coffee-Crafts is to encourage the rural development of

peasant families within the coffee cultural landscape and within rural conflict zones in

Colombia so that they can develop handcrafted products from coffee wood since it is a

raw material abundant in the Colombian countryside and it is wasted and used for other

purposes such as pollution.

The intention is to strengthen the rural family nucleus generating additional income for

the production of handicrafts, and thus find in the field a development of these families

having higher incomes thanks to these practices. Above all women, who within the

coffee cultural landscape and are people who are very marginalized, limiting their

activities only to the care of the home, the care of children and the cooking of food for

workers, coffee pickers. These peasant women can generate marginal income to the

family by developing crafts in coffee wood during a great part of the hours of the day

that they do not have destined for other activities. And thus stimulate rural development

in the Colombian countryside, first generating higher income in peasant families,

Second generating a positive environmental impact by decreasing the large amount of

carbon dioxide generated by the abundant brown wood burns that occur in the field and

third also generating an additional income to the Colombian coffee industry by buying

the coffee wood that, due to the obligation, must be shoveled in the coffee crops so that

the production of the grain does not diminish and the coffee grower is profitable.

Also, look at how these products can be marketed in the United Kingdom, according to

design patterns and trends that exist today. These products should not only be

handicrafts, perhaps even pieces of furniture made of coffee wood to be exported to

this country.

and handicrafts from coffee wood, a by-

product of Colombian coffee farming that

currently this wood is wasted in the

countryside with the sole purpose of

burning and polluting the environment,

since in the field this raw material is used

for the production of charcoal or for the

cooking of food in wood stoves producing

chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases

(COPD) in rural women. And if not, the

wood is thrown into the water sources that

circulate around the farms so that the

wood can rot and contaminate in this way

the water slopes that circulate in the field.

This is how more than 10 years ago,

Londono's Coffee-Crafts has been

developing innovative products from

coffee wood, which has properties that

make it unique and different from other

woods that we find in our environment, it

is a considered wood very dense what

makes it more durable over time than

many other natural ways, besides that it is

an alternative and an innovative proposal

that benefits the environment, because

they are not burning, and likewise, the

Colombian coffee grower is benefiting

having an additional income when selling

this by-product.

At Londono's Coffee-Crafts we take care

of design furniture and handicrafts in

coffee wood, and with these products and

this proposal we won in 2014 the first

design biennial in Colombian crafts,

contest held by Artesanías de Colombia

The proposal of Londono's Coffee-Crafts is to encourage the rural development of

peasant families within the coffee cultural landscape and within rural conflict zones in

Colombia so that they can develop handcrafted products from coffee wood since it is a

raw material abundant in the Colombian countryside and it is wasted and used for other

purposes such as pollution.

The intention is to strengthen the rural family nucleus generating additional income for

the production of handicrafts, and thus find in the field a development of these families

having higher incomes thanks to these practices. Above all women, who within the

coffee cultural landscape and are people who are very marginalized, limiting their

activities only to the care of the home, the care of children and the cooking of food for

workers, coffee pickers. These peasant women can generate marginal income to the

family by developing crafts in coffee wood during a great part of the hours of the day

that they do not have destined for other activities. And thus stimulate rural development

in the Colombian countryside, first generating higher income in peasant families,

Second generating a positive environmental impact by decreasing the large amount of

carbon dioxide generated by the abundant brown wood burns that occur in the field and

third also generating an additional income to the Colombian coffee industry by buying

the coffee wood that, due to the obligation, must be shoveled in the coffee crops so that

the production of the grain does not diminish and the coffee grower is profitable.

Also, look at how these products can be marketed in the United Kingdom, according to

design patterns and trends that exist today. These products should not only be

handicrafts, perhaps even pieces of furniture made of coffee wood to be exported to

this country.

One of the main bets is the assembly of the plant to obtain balanced palm that will be

the base input for the manufacture of concentrate for cattle, nutritional blocks and

cores, replacing the used poultry and concentrating production in less territory. With the

support of food supplements (Balanced) it is expected to contribute to the

intensification of livestock production in Colombia, migrating from an extensive grazing

system to semi-intensive supplemented grazing; being more efficient and having

greater economic impact in rural areas (many of them affected by violence and in the

process of development in the post-conflict).

company Penagos Hermanos and

Compañía SAS, leader in the metal-

mechanic industry in the country. PHINA

was born in 2015 with the aim of offering

technological and sustainable solutions to

the palm sector, characterized by

identifying problems and creating

innovative and sustainable solutions for

palm oil extraction plants through the

formulation of projects; provision of

advisory and consulting services. He is

currently working on 5 strategic foci, one

of them, the process of obtaining

'Balanced Palm', a technology that seeks

to exploit and generate value from a by-

product of palm oil extraction. The

process of obtaining balanced requested

patent in 5 countries of America in 2016.

Other technological bets of the company

are related to: Forecast models of palm oil

production, based on climatic variables

with an error of 4%; Methodology for

evaluation of oil potentials; Recovery of

the lagoons for the generation of biogas;

amONG others.

The 'Balanced palm' allows to obtain an

input of high nutritional value for the

feeding of bovines. The equipment used

to obtain the balance was designed and

manufactured by the company, tests have

been carried out and formulas or diets for

bovines are currently being developed;

once the patent is granted, it is expected

to bring to the market a concentrate of

animals that uses the balance and other

byproducts of the extraction process.

As part of its journey, it has developed

projects for the recovery of waste,

effluents, gophers and cakes from palm

leaf filters; of exploitation of husk as fuel

in replacement of coal; application of the

methodology for the reduction or loss of

oil in the waste, amONG others. In 2016,

Phina had a turnover of around 950

million Colombian pesos.

the user. It is multi-user, works offline and once access to the Internet service will

update automatically, allowing interact directly with the entire business structure and

provides partial information to external agents involved in business processes and / or

comapny. It is a technologically innovative proposal since we know in first hand the

agricultural sector which has allowed us to know what are the real needs of farmers in

Colombia to manage their business. The tool not only allows to control the processes

but also provides real information for decision making and for the improvement of

production and commercialization.

Our capabilities allow us to develop projects through the acquisition and processing of

images using RASTER technologies (satellite, aerial photographs), Lidar, On-site

survey of sub-metric precision data with the use of GPS.

We hope to develop or participate in projects that allow us to generate soil information

and application of technologies for an eco-efficient agriculture in the family productive

units in hillside areas vulnerable to climate change. Identification of suitable areas

through intelligent mapping for the exploitation of the exploitation of crops in

agroforestry systems, with low CO2 emissions, which allow a greater valuation and

competitiveness of the products in national and international markets.

We hope to make links with companies that develop sustainable models using

technological tools that strengthen family farming. We are interested in the joint

development and validation of information systems for the implementation of a platform

of services based on the use of IoT (Internet of Things) and Virtual Reality / Augmented

Reality for the Agricultural sector in the department of Santander, Colombia.

Humanities; 10 in Medicinal Sciences & Health; 2 in Engineer% Technology; 1 in

Natural Sciences and 1 Core Research Facility-SIU. On the other hand, my research

team initiated formal research work in Biotechnology in the year 2000 and since we had

developed more than 50 research projects in basic and applied research focused in

Algae (microalgae), medicinal and edible mushrooms, and plants. We have a plant

micro.propagation lab, a strain basic collection of fungi and microalgae, and a research

lab for molecular and bioprocess where we developed CROP FREE production

products taking in account climate change threat for food and energy security. We have

international collaborative network with France, Germany, USA, Canada, Uk and

several Iberoamerican countries such as Argentina Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Spain

and Portugal. Besides that, we developed a research project for a Superbac an

enterprise from Brazil where we were able to develop a very innovative process that

give rise to a new patent submission.

On the other hand, to the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences. Institute of Biology

and Chemistry, develops programs of environmental education, ecology, terrestrial and

marine biodiversity, biotechnology, agrobiotechnology, bioeconomy, and conservation

of endangered species. Within its research areas it has strengths in floristic inventories,

fungal inventories, insect inventories, fish inventories, bird inventories, microalgae,

amONG other groups of organisms, bioprospecting programs, biocontrol of pathogens,

micropropagation of species of economic interest , environmental or endangered,

natural products and has created a recent diploma in Bioeconomy in conjunction with

the Faculty of Economics, in order to develop processes and products to add value to

the rich biodiversity and diversity of biomass sources through of biotechnological

processes and biorefinery for the generation of new technology-based companies.

The University of Antioquia had created a Core Research Facility known as SIU, for the

main research groups ranked by the standard of our National Science Agency-

Colciencias and there we are sharing research infrastructure knowledge, together with

Master and Ph. D. students and industry. The Biotechnology research team is a

multidisciplinary group of young scientists at Ph. D and M.Sc. levels (Biologists,

microbiologists, engineers, economic, pharmaceutics, chemists, and so on), working

together with public and private sectors (national and international) to develop research

projects by way of biotechnological processes and techniques. Since year 2000 we

have been carried out several research projects related to some crops such as banana,

cacao and palm oil, flowers, algae and edible and medicinal mushrooms, amONG

other economical important species. My research projects are mainly co-financed by

private and public institutions and we are working to solve problems or to create

solutions for them. In the Agro sectors we are working with banana, cacao and palm oil

amONG other important crops, where we have some patents granted due to our

innovative results.My research team has been working for several years in a research

project related to the control a banana main diseases called of Sigatoka negra

(Mycosphaerella fijiensis) together with the private enterprise Augura, which spend

more than USD $ 40 millon in agrochemical for its control. Since they need to fill up

requirement for banana free of agrochemical (green and sustainable production), they

are co-financing our research project dealing with agro-biocontrol of this main diseases

and so far our results has shown better performance in a linear pots than the

commercial agrochemical used for it (Dithane).

The biocontrol product (Protein extract), has been already protected by US Patent

9,408,392 B2. However, there is a need for more financial support to develop an

innovative encapsulation process to protect the product from UV, high temperature,

tropical rain, amONG other climatic factors and to scale up to a commercial level the

protein production in order to be able to design a formulation that can be spread by

airplane amONG the thousand hectares of banana crop.

Crops Value Chains Project: Macro- and microalgae are an important source of new substances with great

potential for the development of new products for cosmetic use, due to the great

capacity they have to provide substances such as proteins, unsaturated and

polyunsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides, fiber, amONG others, becoming a

fundamental raw material for the development of new products. Although Colombia has

two large coasts, and a great diversity of algae, there are no large natural seaweed

beds of commercial algae, with the exception of perhaps the natural grasslands of

Grateloupia (which contains carrageenan) on the Caribbean coast. Unlike other

countries in our environment, where algae represent a source of wealth for many

companies, the valuation and exploitation of this resource in Colombia is still far from

its true potential. Therefore, the objective of this research proposal would be to design

and propose a cosmetic anti-aging system based on seaweed extracts, with high

benefits not only for the skin but also, that its additional biological properties, make it a

true product with functional characteristics for human health.

Additionally, the development of this proposal would allow in the medium term (years

2023-2024) to establish the economic and social potential of the species that proliferate

We are currently supporting an initiative called sovereign products, which is promoted

by peasant organizations in the municipalities that are in the central cordillera of the

department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia, which were affected by the armed conflict.

They have initially created their sovereign coffee brand that they sell in local markets

and have the initiative to export it for their good quality. next to this product, other

coffee derivatives are proposed for cosmetic use (creams and hair shampoo,

exfoliating) as food (nougat). likewise, there is an initiative to work with cheese, jams

and vegetable processing. The main strength of this initiative of the farmers and the

UNAD is in the good organizational level that the communities have and in the

missionary commitment of the university which implies putting all their talent and

human resources at the service of the populations with difficulties and especially that

they have been victims of the armed conflict that we have lived through for so many

years. We are looking for work partners that help promote this sovereign product

initiative with resources and know-how, whose next goals are to build and equip

processing plants and position sales through stores in the national and international

scope.

Build a model farm for breeding and production of pigs, friendly to the environment that

producers associated and you see produce pork for human consumption with export

quality standards.

Project: Macro- and microalgae are an important source of new substances with great

potential for the development of new products for cosmetic use, due to the great

capacity they have to provide substances such as proteins, unsaturated and

polyunsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides, fiber, amONG others, becoming a

fundamental raw material for the development of new products. Although Colombia has

two Larges coasts, and a great diversity of algae, there are no Larges natural prairies of

commercial algae, except perhaps the natural prairies of Grateloupia (which contains

carrageenan) on the Caribbean coast. Unlike other countries in our environment, where

algae represent a source of wealth for many companies, the valuation and exploitation

of this resource in Colombia is still far from its true potential. Therefore, the objective of

this research proposal would be to design and propose a cosmetic anti-aging system

based on seaweed extracts, with high benefits not only for the skin but also, that its

additional biological properties, make it a true product with functional characteristics for

human health.

Additionally, the development of this proposal would allow in the medium term (years

2023-2024) to establish the economic and social potential of the species that proliferate

as contaminating biomass in the Colombian Caribbean coast, as an environmentally

friendly and sustainable strategy, for the design of a biocompatible and biodegradable

natural additive of direct application in a product for human consumption.

Beekeeping is a tool for Rural Development that has been widely tested around the

world; It is an effective activity to alleviate poverty, promote sustainable development,

and empower rural communities, based on the sale of pure honey and its derivatives.

Additionally, the production of honey brings lONG benefits for agriculture, given that the

increase of beekeeping families leads to an increase in the number of bees existing

around Colombian agricultural Crops. According to the Food and Agriculture

Organization of the United Nations (FAO) approximately 73% of all Crops in the world

are pollinated by some kind of bee.

At a national level, Colombia has a great potential in the production of honey, given the

great variety of flora and forests in the different thermal floors. These geographical and

climatic characteristics are also present in the Department of Santander. This variety in

the thermal floors makes beekeeping in Santander occurs in all areas, obtaining a

heterogeneous honey and special characteristics for consumption and marketing.

However, beekeeping in Colombia is one of the agricultural activities with less technical

development, since it is still practiced in an artisanal way. As a result, beekeepers have

two major challenges to overcome. The first challenge is to improve and ensure the

quality of pure honey; It is essential to have access to quick and easy technological

knowledge and tools to measure the quality of honey. The second is the increase in

adulterated honeys in the domestic market that are manufactured in melts with

chemical substances and sugar; and the increase of industrialized honeys harmful to

health. Both adulterated and industrialized honey are sold as honey from pure bees,

therefore, beekeepers compete in an unfair market with people who make tons of

honey without bees.

The project proposes the transfer and integration of technologies and research applied

to Santander beekeeping families led by women. The objectives, which we hope will be

supported by the UK partner, are listed below:

1) Train new techniques and technologies to beekeeping families of Santander to

improve the quality levels of their products.

2) Develop a low-cost portable system for the quality control of honey and the

identification of adulterated honey using spectral information in the visible and infrared.

3) Search international markets for these products.

4) Characterize spectrally the honey produced by the participating community and the

adulterated honey.

5) Study the feasibility of developing denominations of origin of honey as an added

value of the product based on spectral identification.

6) Develop spaces with the participating community to carry out the technological and

scientific transfer for the production of honey with parameters of quality and safety, and

existing techniques for the identification of adulterated honeys.

7) Development of ICT tools (mobile applications) that allow beekeepers to access

information of interest, create a communication channel between beekeepers and

buyers and, additionally, that allows them to take control of their hives.

We are interested in participating in a project that uses Crops of tropical roots and

tubers, especially Crops of yucca, yam and sweet potato, as the basis for developing

and transferring technologies based on the approach known as "green chemistry",

which seeks to identify the principles active of the leaves and the roots and tubers of

these Crops, for the production of pharmaceutical, nutritional and environmental

compounds. It is an approach with high potential for social impact in highly vulnerable

populations. We have important experiences and contacts currently in the Cauca

Department region, highly affected by the post-conflict, and we are looking for a partner

from the United Kingdom who is interested in a Strategic Alliance with Clayuca and with

entities from this region, to implement a strategy based on the mentioned approach.

At the present time it is sought to strengthen the productive activities that favor the

allows to determine the areas of location and programming of productive activities both

in beekeeping and traditional Crops.

In Aquaculture, improvement is required through the use of solar panels for the

generation of energy in the exploitation systems of implemented geomembranes. The

above, because the energy required for exploitation consumes more than 60% of

production costs and many producers have gone bankrupt. In addition, it is a strategy

for promoting the use of renewable energies.

In the area of Poultry farming it is wanted to implement, in egg production systems,

feeding with sprouts and other sources that allow the reduction of production costs.

Coffee and cocoa productions require support for quality improvement. This can be

done through the change of practices, as well as the use of better drying equipment

and others that reduce costs in the use of inputs. That is, to promote the development

of coffees that present specific characteristics that can potentially increase their

for infrastructure, there is a lack of knowledge on how to manage, visualize and

enhance the attractions that are presented in the territory. In addition, there is a clear

of fruits and vegetables so that guarantee food security with the national food supply

and the generation of employment with the transformation of agricultural raw materials

into ready-made or pre-finished products, which allow agricultural waste to be collected

in a single site for subsequent transformation into biopolymers, from which obtain

degradable plastic bags to pack them and thus contribute to reduce the damage that is

being generated with the progressive use of packaging, bags and plastic products,

since to date there is still the first plastic that was produced in the world, so These take

up to 400 years to decompose. Surely we will not find them in their original form, but in

micro pellets or nano particles that go to rivers, seas and lakes, becoming the first link

in the marine food chain to be consumed by aquatic animals such as plankton, which

end in our body to be consumed by the fish and shellfish we consume.

AgroRIEGO, for The realization of the site-specific irrigation concept. This model would

focus potentially on women farmers producing Sacha Inchi seeds. AgroRIEGO is a

technological solution that helps farmers to make better decisions about the time and

place in which they must supply water to crops. AgroRIEGO collects real-time

information on soil moisture conditions through sensors distributed throughout the field.

With this information and together with weather and climate variables, it decides the

need for irrigation. And from the decision, it then generates recommendations on when

and where to irrigate, according to the need of the context of the crop, and informs the

farmers about them through their cell phones or by consulting a web page.

We plan to apply in Colombia systems for intensifying livestock production for small

scale farmers using locally produced resources (cassava roots for energy and cassava

and tree foliage as source of protein) with concomitant reduction in production of

enteric methane, recycling of all wastes from crops, livestock and humans for energy

(biogas, and producer gas) and soil improvement (biochar and biodigester effluent.).

A key feature of the supporting research for these proposals has been the development

of systems involving conversion of fibrous crop residues into renewable energy

[hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas) and biochar by gasification in updraft stoves for

cooking and in downdraft gasifiers to produce fuel for heating and fuel for IC engines.

The biochar appears to act as a "prebiotic" to improve animal production and well-

being, and to ameliorate soils, as well as being a means of sequestering atmospheric

carbon.

The supporting research has been done over the last ten years in on-farm research in

Colombia, and in projects supported by AIDS (Swedish International Aid) in Cambodia,

Laos and Vietnam.

We look for cooperation with research and development institutions in the United

Kingdom that can provide laboratory-based support in the area of gasification and

characterization of biochar for use as animal feed additive and soil ameliorater

The Pervive Foundation for four years through strategic alliances has been developing

business social innovation activities in rural areas, incorporating peasants and

indigenous populations, improving their quality of life from food security and

sovereignty, transformation and access to markets. Therefore, it needs strategic

partners at all levels to replicate and scale up these good lessons learned in order to

ensure the sustainability of the initiatives. As an example, the Foundation has

production agreements with indigenous reserves to generate shared value by

establishing about 1,600 hectares of soybeans and corn in farms of the reserves, using

technologies from large companies such as Agropecuaria Aliar to adapt land, plant and

harvest. The utility of this initiative is destined in 79% to the shelter and 21% to the

investing partner (Agropecuaria Aliar S.A.).

It should be mentioned that everything described, has support documents that will be

has allowed it to have a significant development in agriculture, especially in the

production of vegetables and legumes and which is complemented by the cultivation of

fruit trees, coffee and avocado, as well as swine, poultry and cattle.

However, according to the Local Development Plan - Corregimiento San Cristóbal

(2015) the agricultural activity in the corregimiento has deficiencies in the marketing

and intermediation chain due to the absence of productive and safe incentives for the

crops, which translates into low profitability rates, inadequate marketing channels,

increased intermediaries and disjointed organizational processes that do not allow

collaborative work in the market of agricultural products.

Taking into account the aforementioned context, the present project proposes a

sustainable management of the agri-food chain of vegetables in seven villages

2) Achieve organizational strengthening in the social actors of the project's influence

3) Prepare a proposal for sustainable management of the agri-food chain of vegetables

rural livelihoods as well as equity and rural well-being in order to establish responsible

The project "Agro-food chain of vegetables in San Cristóbal, Medellín (Antioquia)"

seeks to propose a sustainable management of the agri-food chain of vegetables,

based on the organizational articulation of the social actors present in the villages of

- Stage 1: agreement with the community.

- Stage 2: training to improve production conditions.

- Stage 3: improvement of production conditions for transport and packaging.

- Stage 4: strengthening of marketing channels.

The Dignificando Corporation detects the common denominator in the territorial entities

of public order (87 municipalities of Santander) of not having qualified personnel for the

elaboration, management and execution of innovative projects and coherent to the

reality of the producers, especially in the rural sector; In this way and after many years

of walking with the organizations (Associations), especially from the department of

Santander, we initiated accompaniment processes to assertively respond to the needs

of the producers, becoming a friendly response for them since we have a clear

knowledge of the rural norms and public policies and perform processes of: 1.

Technical and socio-economic characterization of the properties, 2. diagnoses

according to the reality found and 3. formulation of these projects; fundamental and

consecutive stages, these finally lead us to generate Human Development projects

through adequate information systems for the planning and generation of high added

values; We contribute in this way to the quality of life of the rural population with

innovation, efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability of the activities linked to

agricultural and agro-industrial production in the socio-productive systems of the

different territories.

The projects we currently manage are:

1. "Implementation of ACUOPONIA systems that produce red mojarra and vegetables

under cover, with a built-in solar energy system and rainwater harvesting for the

DIGNIFIED WORK of rural women in the department of Santander" with

ASOMUTRADER (Association of women workers of Rural development) May 2018

2. "IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOLAR LIGHT AS RENEWABLE AND CLEAN

ENERGIES TO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS OF THE

EMPLOYERS OF THE FIELD" with ASOCAMGIR (Association of Peasants of the

Girón) February 2018

3. "IMPLEMENTATION OF 36 HOUSES ANTI-AFFILIATED MALLS TO SUPPLY

VEGETABLE MATERIAL WITH HEALTH AND QUALITY, IN THE DEPARTMENT OF

SANTANDER" with ASOVIFRUSAN (Association of Fruit Growers of Santander),

February 2018.

Of these three projects, we prioritized "Implementation of ACUOPONIA systems that

produce red mojarra and vegetables under cover, with a built-in solar energy system

and rainwater harvesting for DIGNIFIED work of rural women in the department of

Santander" with ASOMUTRADER (Asociación of working women of Rural

development). This is how we are looking for economic and research support from the

United Kingdom to implement ACUOPONIA plants, this being a sustainable production

system of plants and fish that combines the traditional Aquaculture, which is the

breeding of aquatic animals such as fish (Red Mojarra); with hydroponics, cultivation of

plants (churca lettuce and cherry tomato) in water in a symbiotic environment. In

Aquaculture, the secretions of the cultivated animals can accumulate in the water,

increasing its toxicity; On the other hand, in an aquaponics system, the Aquaculture

water, which functions here as a subsystem, feeds the hydroponic system, in which the

waste is decomposed into nitrites and then into nitrates by the nitrification bacteria.

These nitrates are then used by plants as nutrients, so it is possible for water to return

to the Aquaculture subsystem. Therefore, aquaponics is suitable for small agricultural

producers (RURAL WOMEN) with a view to taking advantage of local, regional,

national and international organic markets. This system of ACUOPONIA requires two

motor pumps each of 0.1 (Hp) horsepower, these move through solar energy

transformed into electrical by means of solar panels; we also highlight that the water in

the process is captured by the rainwater collection system.

Finally, we emphasize that rural women in the department of Santander need

innovative, efficient, competitive and sustainable processes to achieve Dignified Work

in their rural homes and in this way RE-DIGNIFY their living conditions generating

Experience in research collaboration

The Agricultural Microbiology research group has several experiences with international

research cooperation with research’s groups from Europe such as the University of

Bielefeld and the University of Lausanne, for the development of microbial strategies

designed to improve nutrients uptake in plants through the use mixed inoculants such

as phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and arbuscular mycorhizal fungi.

Capabilities offered

Agricultural Microbiology research group has an infrastructure for the bioprospection of

microorganisms associated with plant growth promotion and biological control of

phytopathogens in key crops located at the postconflict areas in our country. Especial

emphasis in crops like rice and sugar cane for production of panela. We also have the

facilities and knowledge in the management and understanding of biological process

associated with the sustainable use of agriculture residues, especially those related

with rice straw. In this context we are interested in the development of functional

microbial consortia that facilitate those processes and the understanding of the role of

microbiomes associated with them.

Capabilities required

We are looking for research groups interested in the development of bioinformatic tools

for the study of plant microbiomes, as a strategy to measure the impact of a microbial

package designed to improve the plant growth and nutrient acquisition in crops such

as sugar cane and rice.

My interest is in the study of plant microbiomes to either discover and diagnose the

causes of plant diseases or to bioprospect for beneficial plant-associated endophytes.

In cassava for example, my group is interested in developing treatments for and

diagnosing the cause of frogskin disease of tubers - a significant problem in parts of

Colombia and one whose causal agents have yet to be identified after 40 years of

research. We are also hoping to develop growth promoting/nitrogen fixing microbial

inoculants to sustainably improve yields for small farmers - the area of highest recorded

cassava yields in the world is located in the department of Cauca, which we hope to

study in order to identify beneficial endophytes that can be applied to plants in less

productive parts of the country. Although both of these project ideas are in cassava, I

am excited to explore similar studies in other crops of national importance such as

chocolate, avocado, oil palm, potatoe, coffee, bannana, etc.

The idea has all the qualities to be an excellent project.

1) starts from the nutritional benefit of this fruit (high value of protein, antioxidants,

amino acids, calcium, vitamins), which gives the potential for commercialization.

2) Crops areas are directly affected by the conflict

3) have a high potential for the impersonation of illicit Crops

Historically during pulping process of the cherry coffee that is carried out in the coffee

farms in Colombia and several others countries in the world, a continuos and high

quantity of waste are generated. This residues pollutes in higher proportions the bodies

of natural water. It has been estimated that the pulp and mucilage contained in one

kilogram of cherry coffee can subtract all the oxygen to 5.7 cubic meters of water. This

produce its rapid putrefaction and therefore,

affecting the availability of water for its use and consumption. For this reason Entorno

Fundation with innovatived vision designed, built,

implemented and started a pilot plant for transform honey water to bioetanol, poultry

feed and organic fertilizer. This concept of biorefinery can be useful for the

development of rural communities throughout the area of influence of the Project.

However, Entorno Foundation, has had difficulties to optimize technically and

economically the processes of transformation of the honey waters into bioetanol so that

the yield in the plant is low, mainly in the fermentation and destillation stages. Thus a

new research is required to improving the availability of sugars to carry out the

fermentation process and to reduce the bacterial contamination of the must and

enrichment the ethanol in the destilate. Resolving this aspects, the idea it is realize the

transfer of this technology at rural comunities in postconflict zones that crop coffee.

With this transfer of technology we search lower the environmental impact of honey

water in rivers, valorize it into bioethanol, compost and poultry feed and increase

employment and quality of life, in organizated rural area

The community of corregimiento 8 rural area of Buenaventura-Valle del Cauca, have

been victims of the armed conflict, among other problems; Therefore, in order to

promote food security in this area, it is intended to develop the agricultural project of

pancoger and to promote the sustainability of it, will transform the typical products of

the region that have been cultivated.

This project is relevant to develop it since it would generate employability and

sustainability for families in this community that has been forgotten, stigmatized and

excluded. Therefore to give them this opportunity, we would contribute to the

development of this population, providing them with opportunities to get ahead.

Buenaventura-Valle del Cauca, despite being a port city where 60% of Colombian

foreign trade is mobilized, has one of the highest unemployment rates nationwide;

Therefore, the foundation for social development and environmental protection has the

idea of a "Prawns In Pond" project, which provides the opportunity for men and women

who are heads of household, who are in vulnerable conditions, to do part of this project.

Some possible ideas are related to the closing of rural urban gaps for the promotion of

an integral development of the territory, the generation of dignified employment

conditions for the actors of the rural sector, the restoration and ecosystem

conservation, the reconstruction of the fertility profile of the soils, the modernization of

the local productive systems (productivity and competitiveness (infrastructure,

irrigation systems for Crops as tomato) and the use of alternative energy systems for

the aquatic processes (oxygenation with mechanisms powered by solar energy) and

agricultural production for the mobilization of irrigation systems.

As strengths we can mention the leveraging of processes from the territorial vocation, a

network of allies at national, regional and local level, direct work with the productive

bases, integration of the productive social, private and commercial sector, trajectory in

the development of projects in the rural, productive and gender, promotion of

In recent years, Geomap has been working on the AgroSpatial platform, which offers a

service oriented to the monitoring and management of crop data, supported with

satellite technology and data of various kinds and sources (census data, data taken in

the field, digital elevation models, among others), whose idea arose from the

Hackathon Agro carried out at the University of San Buenaventura in Cali in 2016 and

of which Geomap was the winner (http://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/CMS-

16536934 ). The prize was represented in a validation of AgroSpatial in the United

Kingdom, with training in satellite applications in Catapult (Oxford) and in the

development of business models in the School for Startups (London), as well as the

follow-up by the British embassy in Colombia to continue growing.

Currently, through the platform it is possible to perform descriptive and diagnostic tests

of a crop area defined by the user and work is being done to provide predictive and

prescriptive services for weed control, application of fungicides, disease control and

differentiated application of fertilizers for different types of crops. The main source of

satellite data comes from NASA and ESA, specifically from the Landsat and Sentinel

missions, and we are working to integrate data from commercial missions such as

those from Planet and Airbus. The main objective is to make use of all the data related

to the crops, of which historical records are kept and that are being taken continuously

and permanently, all in order to optimize production and minimize costs and risks, in

addition to provide support to access loans and agricultural insurance, applying for

these techniques and innovative methods for the treatment of Big data, through Spatial

Analysis, Spatial Statistics and Data Mining.

One of the strengths of Geomap is that it is integrated by diverse professionals with

extensive experience in GIS, Remote Sensing, Spatial Statistics, Spatial Databases,

development of secure web platforms, Geoservices, development and start-up of

business models and with knowledge well grounded In several programming languages

such as R, Python, Java, HTML, CSS, Groovy and PHP, but above all with a great

passion and love for what it does and a desire to potentiate the Colombian agriculture

and empower its farmers for this changing and challenging world.

What we are looking for from a partner in the United Kingdom is that it can provide us

with various fields such as those from spectrography, soil chemistry, among others, but

especially climate data, in order to have a way to validate our spatio- temporary

predictive models and likewise improve them continuously. We are also interested in

partners that can provide with relevant local, national and international market

information with a global reach to not only make small, medium and large farmers to

improve their crop yield, but also help them reach global markets.

The objective of this initiative is to help improve the access of fish producers in two

municipalities victims of the armed conflict in Antioquia, through the generation of a

high biological value end product enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids from a

vegetable raw material, which in addition to granting nutritional benefits in the

consuming population, it becomes an alternative to improve the competitiveness of the

fish chain and the quality of life of local producers. Likewise, it seeks to cover the local

demand for fish consumption for the entire population, especially the child population

and pregnant mothers. It also aims to encourage the direct involvement of women in

the transformation and generation of added value of fish products, thus promoting

participation in more inclusive Value Chains.

As research professors at the National University of Colombia, we have strengths in

material in omegas, vitamins and proteins for the cosmetics and food industry. We are

currently processing the fruit of a tree called Cacay from the Colombian post-conflict

zones (Amazonia and Orinoquia). The objective is to articulate small producers of

indigenous and peasant communities with European markets eager to consume

products of plant origin that contribute to their health and well-being. In this way, we are

structuring a value chain of small producers that contributes to the conservation of

Colombian biodiversity through the cultivation and care of trees native to the region,

protecting native species and discouraging deforestation, capturing carbon, improving

food security. local communities and marketing a powerful product for human welfare.
