ASOBRUNKA since its start has been working to recover the environment with n recovery of forest and river basin Boruca same as in traditional recovery n production n systems , traditional knowledge , art and crafts to own the expression Brunkas . More than 60 % of the land is no longer in the hands ind genas why has limited its production capacity traditional n , affects food security went from being a community that production on 90% of their alimentation na having to buy almost everything out and rely on the sale of crafts to . N This situation led to serious consequences such as loss of seeds and the worse the risk of their own food security . Currently and as is agreed in the Plan for the promotion ASOBRUNKA n Good Living in Boruca of ASOBRUNKA Territory , there is no priority in the management of two major components, which comes out below : 1. Establishing a bank of native seeds territory : with which is to have the seed production n continuously to all families in the territory and retrieve the seeds of one form or another has been lost. This is important because some seeds had to buy generating very high costs for production n , adem s which thus can ensure the material tico maintain gene in the hands of local varieties ind own nous , those who have preserved and improved by more than hundreds of years . With this seed bank, n also aims to generate a process of exchange with other areas ind nous and peasant communities is claiming value n of native seeds . For this component will be supported and FACILITATION n Tecnolog National Institute of Agr as queues whose experience in the production ny n conservation of native seeds will be adapted and with appropriate knowledge ind gena . 2. Soberan feed : With the promotion of uncommitted ne tradcional culture system known Comko Chag ites , is increasing with the work of 80 members of ASOBRUNKA families, however there are more families in the area who want to get involved, mainly because they want stop buying their food in Buenos Aires. That is why this project is to manage resources to engage families in the production ams n Chag ites , with the contribution of an initial capital investment n , consisting of initial seed and inputs. On the other hand the need for a small infrastructure and equipment to process grains and other foods, such as for rice husking , drying of seeds and food , storage of crops. It is intended to continue the recovery n Boruca basin that traverses the territory with water and food to the territory that was close to completely dry by the aggressive deforestacion . And finally the need for logic estrat advisor in the area of institutional strengthening MANAGEMENT ny of ASOBRUNKA , food processing and administration of n as small businesses. In this sense, the present proposal aims to strengthen this initiative, which is to strengthen the capacity of food production n ind nous and ensure the availability and consumption of these foods to families in the territory ind gena Boruca .
