La mora (Rubus glaucus) es una fruta muy susceptible a la contaminación por residuos de plaguicidas en su etapa de producción. Por tal razón, los análisis de residuos de plaguicidas en esta fruta tienen importancia para promover procesos que contribuyan a asegurar su calidad y seguridad. Objetivo. Analizar la residualidad de plaguicidas en frutos de mora (Rubus glaucus) obtenidos de zonas de producción y mercados mayoristas del Valle del Cauca. Materiales y métodos. Durante el segundo semestre del 2020 y el primero del 2021 se analizaron quince muestras de dos mercados mayoristas y quince muestras de tres zonas de producción del Valle del Cauca, a través de un análisis de multiresiduos de plaguicidas por cromatografía de gases acoplado con detector selectivo de masas (GC- MSD) y cromatografía líquida con espectrometría de masa a masa (LC-MS/MS). Para esto, se empleó el método QuEChERS y, además, se hizo un análisis de ditiocarbamatos totales por generación de disulfuro...

Despite the substantial efforts to boost inclusive businesses and to develop public-private-social partnerships, these interventions often struggle to achieve their goals. This paper points out that the social dimension of these interventions , usually ignored or considered tangential, is key for their management. It suggests that the business interventions need to be understood as a socially constructed process in which each actor exercises a particular agency, going beyond the linear vision that remains today and conceived it as a step-by-step progression from formulation , to implementation, to results, to evaluation. Considering the actor-oriented approach developed by Norman Long in the arena of rural development sociology, and the approaches and techniques that focused on shared knowledge and on gov-ernance such as the Art of Hosting, this paper contributes with a framework to identify, understand and address challenging social aspects appearing in planned interventions for rural development that involve business and small farmers as the two main actors.

Its main promise is to support global food systems, making them efficient, profitable, and sustainable. However, little we know of its advance between developed and developing countries and what are the potential consequences that these differences can have in terms of digital divide. Through a review of secondary information of startups selling digital technologies, this study explores the characteristics of the digital agriculture landscape in Colombia and France and highlights the need to conduct comparative studies that make evident the gaps between North and South

The assessment covers 62 countries and is based on the analysis of 337 documents published in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The review confirms the magnitude and the severity of an unprecedented crisis that has spread worldwide and has spared only a few. The analysis shows that the dimension of food security that has been most affected is accessibility, with reasonably solid evidence suggesting that both financial and physical access to food have been disrupted. In contrast, there is no clear evidence that the availability of food has been affected. Overall, data suggests that food systems resisted and adapted to the disruption of the pandemic. This resilience came, however, at great costs, with the majority of the systems' actors having to cope with severe disruptions in their activities. In contrast, grocery stores and supermarkets made billions of dollars in profits in 2020.

En el caso particular del Norte del Cauca, la Región Socialmente Responsable surge como una iniciativa de los empresarios con el ánimo de dar respuesta a las necesidades locales y apostar a la construcción de un proceso de intervención social en el marco de una agenda regional de desarrollo, que incluya la perspectiva de múltiples actores como empresarios de las zonas francas asentadas en la zona, gobiernos locales, academia y representantes de la comunidad. Este artículo de reflexión se propone describir el proceso de construcción colectiva de la Región Socialmente Responsable del Norte del Cauca. Se presenta en tres partes: en la primera se describen los principales referentes conceptuales atinentes a la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial y la Región Socialmente Responsable. En la segunda parte se exponen las ...

During the first version (March 2014) of this seminar two subjects were developed oriented towards the strengthening of professionals in company management: competence of manager and sustainable companies. This article compiles reflections dealing with the two subjects already mentioned; these reflections were written by three speakers participating of the seminar. We hope that this thoughtful summary, similar to a proceedings document derived from the seminar, becomes a reference document for future academic and research works.
