    Description

    I am a Systems Engineer. I currently serve as the manager of a small farm in Colombia. From a systemic point of view (holistic) attempt to manage the actions and resources needed to build / institute in this farm a project of unity around the concept of "Membership of the Earth" (where possible rediscover and re-signify the vital links inevitably weave our mother nature and the cycle of water on the planet through our consumption habits), as opposed to the concept of "Land Tenure" that governs us for centuries and is based on individualism, competition and profit. I am interested in contacting autonomous human beings, ecopensantes and commodifying with whom collectively build this project using an authentic exercise of solidarity economy outside the premises of the free market and the financial system, and based on food sovereignty, water, energy, in health, in education and in the currency, among other possible autonomy, including autonomy of thought. Taking as its starting point the current existing permaculture progress of this project I want to share and disseminate information on them with the intention of calling individuals and communities interested in sharing double track lessons learned in this journey towards building a different society, more human, more lucid, more caring, less predatory. Thank you very much for your kind attention.

    In our project we work with production lines as certified organic coffee, handmade cotton (cultivation and spinning), aromatic plants and extraction of essential oils, citrus fruit production and heliconias, production of organic fertilizers from materials plant and animal manures, production of audiovisual teaching aids, among others. We also have a traveling Ecoferia through which we distribute our products.

    Ingeniero de Sistemas. Actualmente me desempeño como administrador de una pequeña finca en Colombia. Desde un punto de vista sistémico (holístico) intento gestionar las acciones y los recursos necesarios para construir/instituir en dicha finca un proyecto de unidad en torno al concepto de "Pertenencia a la Tierra" (en donde sea posible redescubrir y resignificar los vínculos vitales que inevitablemente tejemos con nuestra madre naturaleza y con el ciclo de agua del planeta a través de nuestros hábitos de consumo), en oposición al concepto de "Tenencia de Tierra" que nos rige desde hace siglos y que se fundamenta en el individualismo, la competencia y el lucro. Estoy interesado en contactar seres humanos autónomos, ecopensantes y desmercantilizados con quienes construir colectivamente este proyecto mediante un autentico ejercicio de economía solidaria al margen de las premisas del libre mercado y el sistema financiero, y basado en la autonomía alimentaria, en el agua, energética, en la salud, en la educación y en la moneda, entre otras autonomías posibles, incluida la autonomía del pensamiento. Tomando como punto de partida los actuales avances permaculturales existentes en este proyecto deseo compartir y divulgar información sobre los mismos con la intensión de convocar a individuos y comunidades interesados en compartir en doble vía las lecciones aprendidas en este camino hacia la construcción de una sociedad diferente, más humana, más lúcida, más solidaria, menos predadora. Muchas gracias por su amable atención.

    En nuestro proyecto trabajamos con líneas productivas como café orgánico certificado, algodón artesanal (cultivo e hilado), plantas aromáticas y extracción de aceites esenciales, producción de frutales cítricos y heliconias, producción de abonos orgánicos a partir de materias vegetales y estiércoles animales, producción de material didáctico audiovisual, entre otros. También tenemos una Ecoferia itinerante mediante la cual distribuimos nuestros productos.
