Above all women, who within the cooking of food in wood stoves producing coffee cultural landscape and are people who are very marginalized, limiting their chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases activities only to the care of the home, the care of children and the cooking of food for (COPD) in rural women. And if not, the workers, coffee pickers. These peasant women can generate marginal income to the wood is thrown into the water sources that family by developing crafts in coffee wood during a great part of the hours of the day circulate around the farms so that the that they do not have destined for other activities. And thus stimulate rural development wood can rot and contaminate in this way in the Colombian countryside, first generating higher income in peasant families, the water slopes that circulate in the field. 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 This is how more than 10 years ago, third also generating an additional income to the Colombian coffee industry by buying Londono's Coffee-Crafts has been the coffee wood that, due to the obligation, must be shoveled in the coffee crops so that developing innovative products from the production of the grain does not diminish and the coffee grower is profitable. coffee wood, which has properties that make it unique and different from other Also, look at how these products can be marketed in the United Kingdom, according to woods that we find in our environment, it design patterns and trends that exist today. These products should not only be is a considered wood very dense what handicrafts, perhaps even pieces of furniture made of coffee wood to be exported to makes it more durable over time than this country. 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 Page 28 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 in the framework of Expoartesanias . Here more than 250 artisans from all over the country participated with the different existing proposals and we were selected as the winners thanks to having a different and unique proposal to everything in the market and what was known as Colombian handicrafts, in addition to working as father and son within the same company, assuring a tradition that will follow and become entangled.

Above all women, who within the cooking of food in wood stoves producing coffee cultural landscape and are people who are very marginalized, limiting their chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases activities only to the care of the home, the care of children and the cooking of food for (COPD) in rural women. And if not, the workers, coffee pickers. These peasant women can generate marginal income to the wood is thrown into the water sources that family by developing crafts in coffee wood during a great part of the hours of the day circulate around the farms so that the 29 that they do not have destined for other activities. And thus stimulate rural development wood can rot and contaminate in this way in the Colombian countryside, first generating higher income in peasant families, the water slopes that circulate in the field. 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 This is how more than 10 years ago, third also generating an additional income to the Colombian coffee industry by buying Londono's Coffee-Crafts has been the coffee wood that, due to the obligation, must be shoveled in the coffee crops so that developing innovative products from the production of the grain does not diminish and the coffee grower is profitable. coffee wood, which has properties that make it unique and different from other Also, look at how these products can be marketed in the United Kingdom, according to woods that we find in our environment, it Areas of focus of Briefdesign description patterns and to trends share thatwith exist potential today. partnersThese products in the Unitedshould Kingdom.not only be (For Type of Organization Website Area (s) of Organization name Briefis a considered description wood of thevery organization dense what the organization example:handicrafts, project perhaps ideas, even strengths pieces of furniturewithin the made organization, of coffee wood what to you be exportedare looking to organization size organization interest makes it more durable over time than /project forthis incountry. a partner in the United Kingdom, etc.) 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 in the framework of Expoartesanias . Here more than 250 artisans from all over the country participated with the different existing proposals and we were selected as the winners thanks to having a different and unique proposal to everything in the market and what was known as Colombian handicrafts, in addition to working as father and son within the same company, assuring a tradition that will follow and become entangled.

During its 34 years, the Natura Crops, Rural The 34 years of experience have led the Foundation to propose a comprehensive Rural Colombia co Foundation has dedicated itself to finding Livestock, Development, Development system in which good agricultural practices are implemented and different alternatives for the conservation Sustainable Value chains, production is changed to sustainable systems, but simultaneously these practices lead and sustainable use of biodiversity, which production Environmental to the conservation of biodiversity, of the soil and the waters, a good management of go beyond work in conservation areas, systems, Impact and / or natural resources is made. These measures are also adopted as processes of which is also one of its working complement Deforestation, adaptation to global environmental change and seeking territories that are resilient to mechanisms. For this reason, the ation of Integrated Rural climate change, public policies and market prices. These practices are accompanied by foundation has developed a range of good Development, processes of food security and knowledge dissemination, with a fully participatory, replicable tools anywhere in the country agricultural solutions based on equitable and gender approach. We always seek to give added values to these and many of them in the world. practices, nature 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 One of the main lessons learned and shown that productivity increases by almost 30%, that quality of life improves markedly applied is the need to work and the health indicators of ecosystems increases. Due to these programs, it is comprehensively in socioecosystemic possible to foresee a decrease in the opening of the agricultural frontier and a decrease spaces, that is, where the relationship of in afforestation, always seeking to reach zero net deforestation. Therefore, and taking the human being with all other life forms into account the importance that these issues have for the partners of the United and biophysical spaces is worked in an Kingdom, we believe that it would be an excellent alliance to bring models of integral way, trying to maintain ecological sustainable Rural Development and that these can be replicated in the different regions integrity, that is, the healthy and of the country, since part of the reality of the territory and its people. 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 69 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.

These geographical and on the agricultural sector of the region. 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.

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 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
