Una acción con propósito se centra en responder cuál fue el rol de la empresa en materia de construcción de paz en Colombia, en el periodo 2000-2020, para ofrecer nuevo conocimiento tanto al sector académico como a los sectores empresarial y político, aparte de la sociedad civil, en la coyuntura del posconflicto. Este estudio, a partir de análisis big data y de una conversación cercana con gremios y empresarios, relaciona un conjunto de variables en el tiempo, visualiza cambios e identifica tendencias y comportamientos de las empresas. Representa, en definitiva, un acercamiento a las definiciones, iniciativas y acciones de construcción de paz; evidencia un diálogo limitado entre los actores (principalmente empresas y fundaciones), y pretende ser una conversación que sirva para sacudirlas desde su alcance, ya que estas organizaciones cuentan con las herramientas para la ejecución de proyectos exitosos a futuro, que pueden influir positivamente en lo social y en lo económico, si lograran incluir a la paz como acciones con propósito.

A savory account of how the pursuit of delicious foods shaped human evolution Nature, it has been said, invites us to eat by appetite and rewards by flavor. But what exactly are flavors? Why are some so pleasing while others are not? Delicious is a supremely entertaining foray into the heart of such questions. With generous helpings of warmth and wit, Rob Dunn and Monica Sanchez offer bold new perspectives on why food is enjoyable and how the pursuit of delicious flavors has guided the course of human history. They consider the role that flavor may have played in the invention of the first tools, the extinction of giant mammals, the evolution of the world’s most delicious and fatty fruits, the creation of beer, and our own sociality. Along the way, you will learn about the taste receptors you didn't even know you had, the best way to ferment a mastodon, the relationship between Paleolithic art and cheese, and much more. Blending irresistible storytelling with the latest science, Delicious is a deep history of flavor that will transform the way you think about human evolution and the gustatory pleasures of the foods we eat.
