BANGUERO CAMACHO, Clara Viviana  and  GIRALDO DIAZ, Reinaldo. Bio-entrepreneurship: productive reconfiguration of agro-ecosystems in the district of La Elvira, Santiago de Cali. Entramado [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.1, pp.168-175. ISSN 1900-3803.

From the conceptual framework of life sciences, humanities, and social sciences, interdisciplinary cognitive interstices are being configured to explore responses to the question: What productive relational structure potentiates the configuration of territories self-organized around ecology in the ecological region of La Elvira? Crucial nodes and perspectives of meaning are established in the configuration of territories selforganized around ecology from the relationship of human being and environment, local and global, territory and territoriality; and the relationships and tensions between and among the agro-ecosystem, farming practices, and the socio-productive exploitation of the ecological region of La Elvira. It has been found that the design of agro-ecosystems is associated with the configuration of a relational circuit that enables the insertion of the locality into the glocal economic dynamic, taking social cybernetics and the minimization of the tensions between the eco-region and the socio-productive activities as the organizing criterion. It is concluded that a productive structure composed of "Nodrizas" and nodal elements is integrated by means of a relational circuit which increases the levels and intensity of the demand and the supply of agro-eco-touristic services in the ecological region of La Elvira, thus empowering local, self-organized development by means of the re-existence of human groups united in collective actions.
