Beatriz is a PhD student at the Technological University of Pereira (UTP), Colombia. Linked to the research group in Management of Andean Tropical Agroecosystems (GATA - UTP), She is also a member of the Socio-Ecological Research Lab headed by Dr. Antonio Castro. In her master’s project, Beatriz worked on the "Availability of resources and types of coffee and banana plantation systems in the watershed of the La Vieja River, Colombia". Currently, the doctoral thesis is ongoing and focuses on the relationship of land-use changes and nature contribution to people (NCP) in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia (CCLC). It is expected to find that from the socioecological analysis at the farm level, it is possible to explore interactions and determine behaviors that can be extrapolated to the municipal level, which will allow the planning of the territory from a context that includes minority social groups and functional values and contents about the environment, which will provide guidelines for planning and decision making in the management of the territory.
