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 is design patterns and trends that exist today. These products should not only be a considered wood very dense what handicrafts, perhaps even pieces of furniture made of coffee wood to be exported to this makes it more durable over time than 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 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.

UNIVERSIDAD DE Public sector Medium www.udea.edu.c Dedicated to higher education, research Crops Value Chains Project: Macro- and microalgae are an important source of new substances with great ANTIOQUIA o and development (R & D) and community potential for the development of new products for cosmetic use, due to the great outreach services 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 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.

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.

This variety in Fertilizers 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 Page 78 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.
