SENA , Colombia's National Training Service has an agro-ecology and rural
business training center at Fusagasuga. This is a link to their blog:
http://blogcentrofusagasuga.blogspot.com/ It is in Spanish but if you read
the language you might be interested. this link will give you an idea about
their programs http://issuu.com/sena/docs/proyectos_fusagasuga-agosto They
also are offering agro-ecology classless to the campesinos in the area where
we live. A fiar number of them are using these methods and organic produce is
becoming easily available in our area.

"Big Agriculture" dominates the markets here for some crops but a major part
of the food is still produced by small farmers. If SENA is successful there
could be a sea change in production methods here. There also is a lot of
support for alternative agriculture in the universities.
