There are just a few days left until the different unions sit down to negotiate the increase in the minimum wage for 2025, and the National Government has already shown its cards, giving the figure that they consider should rise for next year, and leaving more than one person surprised.
It was the Minister of Finance, Ricardo Bonilla, who referred to the issue, explaining that the minimum wage for next year must be set with the projections of the Consumer Price Index-CPI- which this month would close at approximately 5.2%.
That percentage would be the starting point, although the figure established by Bonilla was 6.2%, in order for Colombians to earn more compared to the country’s inflation.

Thus, the minimum wage for 2025, according to Government projections, would be close to 1,400,000 pesos per month, a figure that could be far from what the labor unions have.
For them, the salary should increase by approximately 15%, aiming to reach 1,600,000 per month. For its part, the business community would be closer to the government, establishing a 6% increase figure.

**Interview with Dr. Emily Green, Urban Ecologist and Community Gardening Advocate**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Green. To start, what are some of the key positive effects of community gardening in urban areas?
**Dr. Green:** Thank you for having me! Community gardening has numerous benefits. Firstly, it promotes environmental sustainability by encouraging biodiversity and reducing urban heat. These gardens can play a crucial role in improving air quality too.
**Interviewer:** That sounds significant. How do community gardens impact the social fabric of neighborhoods?
**Dr. Green:** Absolutely! They foster a sense of community and belonging. When people come together to work in a garden, they build relationships, share knowledge, and create a stronger social network. It can be a platform for cultural exchange, too, as different communities bring their own gardening traditions.
**Interviewer:** What about the health benefits? How do community gardens contribute to physical and mental well-being?
**Dr. Green:** Gardening is a great physical activity. It helps people stay active and can reduce stress levels. The act of nurturing plants has therapeutic benefits, and access to fresh produce encourages healthier eating habits. This is especially vital in food deserts, where fresh food options are limited.
**Interviewer:** Those are compelling points. What advice would you give to someone looking to start a community garden in their neighborhood?
**Dr. Green:** Start by gathering interested neighbors and forming a community group. Then, research local resources for land access, tools, and educational workshops. Engaging with local governments and organizations for support and funding is also crucial. Remember, it’s about collaboration and shared vision!
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Green, for sharing your insights today. It certainly sounds like community gardening is a fantastic way to enhance our urban environments.
**Dr. Green:** Thank you! I believe with the right efforts, community gardens can transform cities and improve lives.
