The bioeconomy- BIOECONOVIDA model, apart of adding value to local assets (biodiversity, ancestral knowledge, culture), the social fabric is reconstructed, the relationship with the environment is re-evaluated and the being is re-evaluated. This initiative serves a population base of the productive chain that is considered poorly qualified to generate innovations and development of innovative products; it is valued what people know, because it does not matter if you have sales or not, certifications or not, investment plan or not;the most important thing is to study if there is a potential that can be materialized. In this model, we do not expect to find a product that is ready but we do expect to innovate, not have production ready but how we increase it, not have a market but how we arrived; since by creating a research, innovation, production and joint marketing network, there will be a greater level of competitiveness.

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 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.

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 Page 76 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.

The projects we currently manage are:

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 Page 109 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 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
