Spanish term or phrase: pisos ecológicos
Pese a la situación de pobreza, a las desigualdades en la atención, a las dificultades para desarrollar las economías familiares e incluso las de las empresas rurales y a la discriminación y marginación social y cultural de parte de un sistema y de amplios sectores que ven en la diversidad cultural y lingüística un obstáculo para el desarrollo del país, en el área rural existen fortalezas y oportunidades que se vuelven en importantes potencialidades.

•La riqueza cultural de los pueblos indígenas y el campesinado con una variedad de recursos educativos que aún no son reconocidos y aprovechados en muchas escuelas.

•La biodiversidad como fuente de futuros descubrimientos para diversas industrias y el desarrollo científico, por un lado, y como fuente de creación de empresas turísticas comunales, por otro.

•Articulación y complementarización entre diversos pisos ecológicos que aseguren un circuito mercantil que satisfaga las demandas de las diversas poblaciones.

•Posicionamiento comercial de productos artesanales en el mercado nacional e internacional.

Gracias de antemano
