Job satisfaction in the field–Discovery Channel

In 2007, Cocorná's residents faced forced displacement due to armed conflict. "FEST" (Families on their Land) emerged as a government initiative to holistically support those who, as victims of displacement, chose to return voluntarily and rebuild their lives. A decade later, the Antioqueños returned, bringing forth projects and associations that transitioned from artisanal to agroindustrial endeavors.

Due to violence, Cocorná remained uninhabited for years, but today, its residents have come back with aspirations to reclaim their homes and lands. They established an association enabling direct sales to consumers, shifting from artisanal to agro-industrial practices.

"FEST" plays a vital role in the socioeconomic stabilization of households affected by forced displacement, fostering human and social capital, ensuring food security, enhancing habitability, and promoting productive projects.

In 2016, Social Prosperity and Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) implemented projects to complement and strengthen community initiatives, encompassing health, education, housing, sanitation, and food security. The combination of rigorous intervention, ongoing support, and strategic alliances has yielded sustained success for over a decade.
