BOGOTA COLOMBIA). Friday, February 18, 2022 (RPTV NEWS AGENCY). “We have been potato farmers by tradition. All our parents’ lives, our grandparents have dedicated themselves to farming”, says Rosa Elvira Rivera, a peasant woman who says that she inherited her love for the countryside from her parents and for that reason she enjoys working tilling the land. .

“I love the countryside, I have had the opportunity to go look for other opportunities, but the best opportunities are here in the countryside because it is where we were born, where we grew up and where we have a better quality of life,” he reaffirms.

Today, this woman and 46 other families make up an association with which to improve their economy and is an example for the more than 11 million peasants in the country.

“We as a cooperative have been established for six years. We are dedicated to the cultivation of potatoes and also to the production of milk and also to that of various alternate crops in the cold climate of the municipality of Ventaquemada, Boyacá”, he explains about his association, which has received the support of the Comprehensive Intervention Program of the Unit Special Administrative Organization for Solidarity Organizations (UAEOS), with which they have been strengthened and which has allowed them to market quality products, which are also used for family consumption.

Rosa is so happy with her association and with the help of the UAEOS that she invites her fellow farmers to receive constant training. “We have to train ourselves, we have to be managing projects for our organizations, we have to be looking for a better quality of life for all of us, a better well-being.”

The UAEOS is a State entity, attached to the Ministry of Labor, which in its programs promotes and strengthens the entrepreneurial strategies of peasants from the most vulnerable rural communities in the country, so that they can generate decent work and decent income and generate an economic transformation. in these families.

With these programs, the work of the UAEOS not only invests in peasant households like Rosa’s, but also with the enterprises of small informal merchants, so that they can ensure an economic income, guaranteeing their food security, access to social security and in constant improvement of their quality of life.
