Abstract
During the period of the armed conflict in Colombia, the Rural Women of the Pueblo Bello municipality, Department of Cesar in Colombia, were subjected to victimizing acts, of 1,408 events officially reported in the Victims Unit of the Ministry of the Interior, 1,275 were against indigenous women and 189 against Afro-descendant or black women, for this reason a group of rural women sought a productive alternative of an Agroindustrial nature of high productivity in a prudentially short time and with real demand in the market, with added value for their labor force, for this, the cultivation of sacha inchi was chosen to transform it into a snack. 60 women were selected among the Arhuaca and Afro-descendant ethnic groups, who were trained in issues inherent to food production and business formalization, they also received technological strengthening for the implementation of 5 hectares of Sacha inchi and an agribusiness to transform this seed into snack. The results represent a true laboratory of peaceful coexistence and hope for decent work to reject the illegal proposals of the groups that generate violence in Colombia.
