Agricultura y turismo: el camino hacia la autosostenibilidad de la Comarca Ngäbe Buglé

21 August 2025 at 22:30

En Panamá, solemos hablar de la pobreza como si fuera un destino inevitable. Sin embargo, la verdadera pobreza no es solo la falta de ingresos, sino la ausencia de oportunidades para generarlos. La Comarca Ngäbe Buglé, una de las regiones más desfavorecidas del país, posee un potencial enorme para transformar su realidad si se enfocan nuestros esfuerzos en dos sectores estratégicos: la agricultura y el turismo.

La agricultura es, por naturaleza, una actividad que fortalece la seguridad alimentaria y permite generar ingresos de manera directa. No se trata únicamente de repartir semillas y esperar resultados, sino de implementar programas integrales que incluyan asistencia técnica, manejo sostenible de suelos y recursos, sistemas de riego, acceso a insumos y apoyo en la comercialización. Es necesario que las familias aprendan no solo a sembrar, sino también a vender con valor agregado y con visión de mercado.

Uno de los cultivos con mayor potencial es el café. Las tierras altas de la Comarca tienen las condiciones perfectas para producir un café de calidad, incluso orgánico, que podría posicionarse en los mercados internacionales como un producto único: “Café Ngäbe Buglé – cultivado de forma sostenible y cosechado a mano por comunidades indígenas de Panamá”.

Para maximizar este potencial, se podría instalar un beneficio de café en San Félix, junto a la carretera Panamericana. Desde allí, el producto podría procesarse, empacarse y exportarse directamente, generando ingresos constantes para las comunidades y empleo local en la cadena de producción. Hoy en día, palabras como “orgánico” y “sostenible” no solo agregan valor, sino que abren puertas a consumidores dispuestos a pagar más por un producto que cuida el medio ambiente y apoya a las comunidades.

El turismo cultural y ecológico es otra gran oportunidad. Capacitar a la población en atención al visitante, hospedaje, gastronomía local, guianza turística y venta de artesanías inspiradas en su herencia cultural puede abrir fuentes de ingresos constantes. Imaginemos rutas de senderismo por paisajes vírgenes, talleres donde los turistas aprendan a elaborar vestimenta tradicional o experiencias de convivencia donde los visitantes compartan un día entero con una familia Ngäbe. Este tipo de turismo, bien gestionado, es sostenible y genera ingresos sin destruir el entorno.

Esto no es un sueño. Es una realidad que la Fundación Nuestra Señora del Camino viene trabajando desde hace décadas, con escasos recursos, pero con un compromiso inquebrantable con la capacitación, la dotación de herramientas, la mejora de sistemas de producción, el apoyo en la comercialización y la formación humana cristiana. Panamá debería apoyar, ampliar y replicar este modelo, que ya ha demostrado resultados concretos.

Los Ngäbe Buglé son tan panameños como cualquier otro ciudadano de este país. Merecen ser incluidos en los sectores productivos y tener la oportunidad de contribuir al desarrollo nacional. No pueden ni deben ser vistos solo como receptores de subsidios y ayudas. Es justo que aprendan a ser autosuficientes, a producir para el país y a ser protagonistas de su propio progreso.

La Doctrina Social de la Iglesia Católica nos recuerda que el trabajo no es solo un medio de subsistencia, sino un deber y una forma de dignificar la vida humana. Dios nos llama a producir con nuestras manos, a transformar la tierra y los talentos que se nos han confiado para sostenernos y servir a los demás. Ayudar a la Comarca Ngäbe Buglé a ser productiva no es un acto de caridad pasajera, sino de justicia social.

La meta debe ser clara: que las comunidades sean autosostenibles, que produzcan sus propios alimentos, que generen ingresos con su trabajo y que sean parte activa de la economía panameña. La pobreza no se combate con asistencialismo eterno, sino con herramientas, capacitación y oportunidades para que cada persona pueda decir con orgullo: “Esto lo logré con mi esfuerzo”.

Panamá tiene la obligación moral, social y económica de acompañar a la Comarca Ngäbe Buglé en este camino. Si lo hacemos bien, no solo estaremos mejorando su calidad de vida, sino construyendo un país más justo, más próspero y más unido. #TodosSomosUno

SFO2 Power Maintenance

Aug 22, 04:54 UTC
Completed - Our Engineering team has confirmed that the issue caused by the unexpected power event has been fully resolved. Droplet connectivity in SFO2 should now be completely restored, and events like powering on/off should work as expected.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you continue to experience any issues, please open a support ticket from within your account.

Aug 22, 01:25 UTC
Update - Our Engineering team has mitigated the issue with the unexpected power event and will continue to monitor this closely. Droplet connectivity in SFO2 should be restored, and events, such as powering on/off, should complete successfully now.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We will post updates if any further unexpected issues arise, and once this maintenance is fully completed. Thank you for your patience.

Aug 22, 00:35 UTC
Update - Our Engineering team is still working on the issue with some nodes in SFO2 going offline. Some users may still experience connectivity and event processing issues in SFO2.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We will post an update once we've confirmed that this issue is resolved.

Aug 21, 23:29 UTC
Update - During this maintenance, an unexpected power issue has occurred, which has caused multiple nodes to go down. Some customers with Droplets in SFO2 may notice that their Droplets are experiencing connectivity and event processing issues.

Our Engineering team is working to resolve this immediately, we will post an update here once we have more information.

Aug 21, 21:00 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

Aug 21, 20:50 UTC
Scheduled - We are initiating an emergency power maintenance in one of our data center cages. This maintenance is critical and must be performed immediately to ensure infrastructure stability.

Expected Impact:

All devices run on redundant power. We do not expect any customer impact during this maintenance. If the redundant power feed experienced an issue during the course of the maintenance (which is unlikely), customers could see impact to existing resources housed in the affected cages, including Droplets, rDNS, and Object Storage. We will post updates if any unexpected outage occurs.

To help ensure a safe operation, we've temporarily reduced Droplet capacity in our SFO2 region. Customers who deploy Droplets in SFO2 may see some sizes unavailable or run into capacity errors for large deployments. This is temporary, so if you do encounter an error, we encourage you to try to deploy once more once the maintenance is complete.

Our engineering and operations teams are onsite and will be monitoring affected systems closely throughout the maintenance. Emergency notifications will be sent promptly if any critical impacts arise.

We appreciate your understanding as we work to resolve this situation as quickly and safely as possible.

If you have any questions related to this maintenance please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket

New Drupal subreddit for AI users

The Drupal AI Strategic Initiative has set up a brand new subreddit to support conversations about Drupal AI. There isn't much of anything there yet, so why not help us feed it and create meaningful conversations?

How to build data entry journeys that are nice / eye pleasing to use?

Hi,

let's assume, we have content types like 'my profile' for a community.
Or 'my preferences' for a customer preference center.
Or 'my claims' for an insurance website.
Or 'publish an event' for an event website.

The content type is quite clear - name, multiple fields in the appropriate data types.
However, displaying those content type forms is rather 'ugly'.

I'd like to have a multi page or multi step form. The form should save directly without clicking on save and reload. The inputs should be switches instead of checkboxes, etc.

What I've tried is,

  • to use field groups in order to structure the form layout to some extend.
  • using field permissions to hide the fields that are being calculated in the background.
  • using Conditional Fields where reasonable
  • there is a module 'Form Mode Control' which I'm using to show only parts of the form
  • using webform to build nice forms and then ECA or Webform Content Creator to create / populate nodes / entities

Are there any better approaches? (no custom development / front-end development)
Are there any good modules that will make data entry for longer forms more bearable?

Is there a visually basic but eye pleasing Drupal theme out there yet?

I've been Drupaling since v6, now running multiple D10 and D11 sites and i'm still waiting for a visually pleasing yet basic looking Drupal theme I can do the absolute minimum on to just get a site going.

Worked on Omega, Bootstrap, Zen and many others over the years they all start as a barebones site but still need a lot doing to really get looking good.

I've just spent another few hours looking through all the theme options for D11 as I haven't looked in a year and nothing is popping up still.

There has to be something I can literally just change the font styles used and have a super minimal look and feel and I can just work on the features and content of the site.

Built LSafe with AI: Auto-backup tool for Lando users

Fellow Drupal developers using Lando!

Built LSafe with AI assistance to automate database backups in Lando workflows. Less about "rebuild destroys data" (it usually doesn't) and more about general backup safety.

What LSafe does:

- Auto-backup before lando destroy (actually destructive)

- Safety net for database imports/exports

- Backup before lando poweroff and lando restart

- Protection against typing the wrong command

- Automated backup age monitoring and cleanup

Built after our MySQL corruption incident - wanted better backup workflows overall. There are different approaches (Vortex has a cool countdown feature), this is the "backup first" approach.

For Lando users who want:

- Automated safety for truly destructive operations

- Easy lsafe restore for emergencies

- Zero-config backup management

- "Better safe than sorry" development workflow

One-line install:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Apotheosis-Tech/lsafe/main/install.sh | bash

Usage: lsafe destroy instead of lando destroy for safe operations.

Being transparent: This is human vision + AI implementation. Turned out way better than I could've built solo.

Drupal overflow help

My Drupal agency has recently been shifting to more Agentic focused work. We have some legacy Drupal clients that need assistance from time to time and we are looking for someone to help with it. We don’t have a high budget for this sort of work. This is not a get rich gig. More of a I have some extra spending cash this week sort of gig.

Our clients are all on D10 and have small changes to their sites periodically. Nothing complex, yet. This could lead to more work as things progress with AI.

Drupal Learning Roadmap

I want to learn theming, structure and how Drupal works in general.
I know the basics and some intermediate concepts.

I fail to understand twig and how to make good design with it.
fail to understand how Drupal interacts with regions and how to customize them to my needs.

I tried distributions but I find them frustrating.
Backend part makes perfect sense and I fell comfortable with it.

I am open to learn more about drupal theming and frontend development.
I thank in advance to the suggestion.

Is there a module to make Drupal 11 dropdown menus more compact?

Is there a module to make Drupal 11 dropdown menus more compact?

I am trying to adjust to Drupal 11 after having only experience with Drupal 7. I had not attempted to use any version earlier than 11. One characteristic of D11 I find annoying is how spaced-out the admin dropdown menus are. (Tried to add sshots to demonstrate this, but don't see how to do that here.)

I also disliked the lack of organization in the modules list, but have already improved that with the Module Filter module, which was being used in D7.

Similar spacing issues exist throughout the admin menus, on the pages themselves as well as dropdowns. The result is a lot more scrolling that could be avoided with more compact organization. Is there a module for making the dropdowns and settings pages more compact?

I also wish that all settings pages requiring a Save step would have the Save button near the top as well as at the bottom. It's annoying to need to scroll way down if the change made was not far down on the page.
