A prerequisite for an estate planning is to have information on the characteristics of the producer or producer and his family, on natural resources and the production system you have. As to propose changes in the use and management of natural resources must know, analyze and interpret what is available in the production unit. This is why it is characterized plated five farms located in indigenous territory of Bribri community Shuabb Telire, canton of Talamanca, for the production of organic cocoa, under a traditional agroforestry system (Skowak) district. Five women are the beneficiaries, participants in this project, and it is no coincidence that farmers are women. Talamanca as in many rural areas of the country, the men leave the community in search of job opportunities, leaving the women in charge of family and land.
