  1. I love this article. Sometimes we can learn about what kind of business can provide at the same time value chain and value social. I think even innovate the possibility that people run them as businesses. Without being a country poor Colombia has a program known Corporation for the Sustainable Management of the San Nicolas. This program with support of local communities, provides technical assistance and capacity building, commercializes environmental services. That is very interesting because the environment is the future of the world.
