“…In Colombia, this is due to inaccessibility of most rural regions to the construction of quality educational equipment (laboratories, internet networks, electrical and water installations, etc. ), to networks of consumable providers to supply educational materials, and to sufficiently-trained professors that can provide a quality education ( Carrero Arango and González Rodríguez, 2017 ; Gaviria, 2017 ; Galvis et al, 2021 ). Most members of rural populations look to pursue agricultural education in the nearest large city, but this requires means for travel and subsistence in the city, which is often inaccessible, not subsidized by the educational institution, and not supported by the government ( Guzmán Rincón et al, 2021 ).…”

Exploring the future of GM technology in sustainable local food systems in Colombia

The security of Earth’s food systems is challenged by shifting regional climates. While agricultural processes are disrupted by climate change, they also play a large role in contributing to destabilizing greenhouse gases. Finding new strategies to increase yields while decreasing agricultural environmental impacts is essential. Tropical agriculture is particularly susceptible to climate change: local, smallholder farming, which provides a majority of the food supply, is high risk and has limited adaptation capacity. Rapid, inexpensive, intuitive solutions are needed, like the implementation of genetically modified (GM) crops. In the Latin American tropics, high awareness and acceptance of GM technologies, opportunities to test GM crops as part of local agricultural educations, and their known economic benefits, support their use. However, this is not all that is needed for the future of GM technologies in these areas: GM implementation must also consider environmental and social sustainability, which can be unique to a locality. Primarily from the perspective of its educators, the potential of a rural Colombian university in driving GM implementation is explored, including the role of this type of university in producing agricultural engineers who can innovate with GM to meet regionally-dependent environmental and cultural needs that could increase their sustainability.

This work wants to answer the question, ‘What is a fair job?' from a quantitative point of view, considering the changes on country's labor conditions, proposing the construction of an index to evaluate employment quality based on the structural conditions of Colombian legislation, comparing the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 for the 13 main cities and using data from the ‘Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares' (Great Integrated Household Survey) by the DANE (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística, National Administrative Department of Statistics). For this, existing works in the literature will be reviewed, variables from pertinent databases will be selected, and the weight of each variable for the index will be estimated.
