About the family
Jairo, originally from Belén de los Andaquíes and a former resident of the Albania rural area, embarked on a new journey after acquiring a farm, where he began cultivating cocoa using seeds provided by an innovative project. Though his past is marked by displacement and the scars of armed conflict, today, Jairo is not only focused on his crops but is also deeply committed to protecting the forest and its diverse wildlife.
