Abstract

The role of universities in this century takes on a new dimension, given the importance of training professionals aware of the actions that correspond to them for the sake of human improvement. That is why they play a more active role in the sustainable vision of protection of biological and cultural diversity, in food production as a central axis of the development of society and as a contribution to food security and sovereignty. This work shows how, from a scientific research project, it contributes to the training of students of the Bachelor's degree in Food Sciences, while at the same time it constitutes an important axis of actions for the achievement of food security and sovereignty in goat development communities with emphasis on the diversification process of goat milk. The stages that are completed in the project are delimited with a vision of teaching – research – production integration, in which several presentations have been made at scientific events, publications in top-level magazines and a Branch Award from the Ministry of Agriculture was obtained.
