Abstract

This research corresponds to a thesis to qualify for the bachelor's degree in Anthropology at the Catholic University of Temuco, and is part of the experience of professional practice at the Institute for Agricultural Development (INDAP) Lautaro area "A newsustainable development as "beekeeping" in the local development program (PRODESAL)."

Why did they organize themselves in a beekeeping oriented committee, which was their motive?Was it the intervention of a state agency?Did it
