offering to producers and family producers technical assistance in rural areas, with the purpose
of fomenting and strengthening the Family-based organic agriculture through certification of
plant production and agro-industries (processing) for free in the 7 municipalities of the coastal
region. This work aimed to report how the activities of this nucleus were developed from the
beginning of Phase III, which happened between July and March of 2017. During this period
