This alternatives have to be sustainable and based on the environmental and human capacities that will recognize their limits and take advantages of their actual system to lead the process of transformation toward other lifestyles. In this case, it will be analyzed the socioeconomic context of El Realejo, Chinandega which has important natural resources such as fertile land, mangrove forest, and sweet water rivers; however, their actual economy mainly depends on extractive activities as a result of the dynamics in the land tenure by the hand of the monocultivation companies that sow peanut or sugar cane, among others that cultivate shrimps. On the other hand, there is an important factor which is the lack of economic alternatives, according to the population. Here as the first step toward the humanistic development, it will comes up with the necessary institutions and actions to promote changes toward the sustainable management of the natural resources and economy. The method for this analysis is the ethnography with a direct and indirect observation, and the non-consecutive documental research in the years 2016, 2017 and 2019.
