COMMUNITY AGROINDUSTRIES
The processing and agro-industrialization of agroecological production offer multiple benefits to traditional communities, including the development of food storage and preservation technologies, ensuring food and nutritional security and sovereignty. These practices promote the maintenance and reproduction of agrobiodiversity, preserving the genetic and cultural heritage of communities, in addition to contributing to environmental health. Additionally, they create new economic opportunities, generating income and jobs, and strengthening the local economy.

ADOBE CONSTRUCTION (ECOLOGICAL BATHROOMS)
Superadobe is an innovative bioconstruction technique that uses long fabric tubes or bags filled with compacted soil in layers to form robust and durable compression structures. The main raw material used is moist earth, which makes the construction process simple and affordable. This technology is particularly advantageous for the construction of toilets in hard-to-reach and isolated areas, providing a cost-effective solution for basic sanitation.

REUSE OF WASTE FOR ENERGY GENERATION (BIOSYSTEM)
A biosystem is a facility that uses a biodigester to process organic waste, such as food scraps, animal manure and human feces, through an anaerobic process. This process transforms the waste into biogas and natural fertilizer. The biogas, which is filtered and stored in the equipment itself, can be used as cooking gas, providing up to 3 hours of gas per day. In addition to biogas, the system also generates a natural fertilizer, which is collected in a container located at the back of the equipment and can be used to fertilize crops.

PROMOTING COMMUNITY ENTERPRISES LINKED TO THE ARTISANAL FISHING CHAIN
The participatory development of processing units that are appropriate for local community production is essential to add value to socio-biodiversity products and ensure food sovereignty and security. This process involves the active collaboration of communities in the design, implementation and management of these units, ensuring that they meet specific needs and respect local traditional knowledge. The creation of these units not only enhances the quality and value of products, but also strengthens the local economy, promotes environmental and cultural sustainability, and ensures that communities maintain control over their resources and ways of life.
