My father, colombian as me, has pretty much spent all his life farming land, still now that he&#x27;s 84 - though now at a way smaller scale than he used to do, which was still modest, and just because he wants to keep going - as he never had owned a land to farm, he always worked on that modality where you farm someone else&#x27;s land and at the end you give them some percentage of what you got at the end, that has a name but I forgot.<p>The finantial gains of his work, when he&#x27;s been lucky, always have been pretty short. He&#x27;s never received any help from anyone, no social security, no government insurance, no pension, nothing - but still managed to save for build a little house that we still are finishing 30+ years later, and despite all the difficulties we had, give my sister and me a somewhat decent education and life.<p>If that seems though, just imagine all the people who had to fled their lands and left the only thing they knew to do in life because of the internal conflict and people killing them to steal their lands, there where the local media won&#x27;t put their gaze and the goverment ignores to keep their rampant corruption and inequity.<p>It&#x27;s great there&#x27;s people thinking about them and working to make their products reachable for others.

are acai berries actually good for you? I remember a period of time when they were like the most scammy product ever and ads for them were everywhere online
