Capítulo 1. La agricultura familiar y la política pública en la coyuntura de la pandemia en Colombia
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Julián Augusto Vivas, Liliana Vargas
Both the social mobilization and the global conditions generated by the Covid-19 pandemic have once again highlighted the important role of family farming in Colombian society. But at the same time, they have shown the enormous institutional challenges in the construction of a differential public policy for Family and Ethnic Community Farming - acfec in the country. This article presents the main findings of the Country Report on the situation of Peasant, Family and Ethnic Community Agriculture prepared by the National Network of Peasant, Family and Ethnic Community Agriculture - renaf for the Commitment-Based Initiative on Family Farming for Latin America and the Caribbean - cbi af - belonging to the International Land Coalition. This report sought to conduct an account of the main regulatory and institutional changes subsequent to the issuance of Resolution 464 of 2017 and especially the changes occurring in the context of the pandemic caused by Covid-19. The analysis of these changes is made according to some of the indicators proposed by the Decade of Family Farming Action Plan and is supported by a broad base of documentary sources within which are the most recent official statistics, with which we can begin to glimpse, so far, the complex reality of peasant, family and ethnic community agriculture in Colombia. The conclusions point out that the gradual process of making the economic, environmental and cultural role of family farming in Colombia visible in the country’s public policy agenda has been conditioned by the persistence of historical obstacles that pose future challenges for social mobilization and Colombian society in general.

Capítulo 2. Aportes psicosociales de las juventudes rurales para fortalecer la agricultura campesina familiar, étnica y comunitaria en Colombia
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Arlex Angarita Leiton
This text includes an exercise to identify and describe some psychosocial elements related to the leading role played by young rural Colombian men and women from different social groups in the national territory, trying to make visible aspects of their context that transcend the agricultural and livestock sector. These aspects described are mainly related to psychosocial processes that have been little studied and considered in policies, programs, management and social development projects for the rural context. After an exercise of observation, analysis and systematization of the experience of social processes related to rural youth linked to agroecology, family agriculture and sustainable rural development initiatives, we present some of the psychosocial elements that are implicit in the context in which rural youth live, and that allow understanding some particularities to see beyond the merely productive agricultural vision with which traditionally and historically rurality has been seen in the country. Through participation and expression in different spaces, forms and ways, young people make proposals in which explicit requirements and demands can be identified and specified, which imply attention or support from institutions, civil society, families and their own grassroots organizations. Their priorities have to do with recognizing the historical struggles to return to the countryside, to be linked to more dignified life processes, innovation and entrepreneurship that allow them to remain in their territories playing roles that are fundamental for the recampesinization, development and strengthening of the category of Family and Ethnic Community Peasant Agriculture - acfec with a focus on sustainability.

Capítulo 3. Aportes de los grupos de ahorro y crédito al fortalecimiento de la Agricultura Campesina Familiar, Étnica y Comunitaria en el sur del Tolima
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Camilo Andrés Lastra Romero, Fernando Castrillón Zapata
In Colombia’s rural areas, financial exclusion of family farmers predominates, a situation that is more critical in the case of rural women, young people and the elderly. In this context, based on the principles of the solidarity economy, savings and credit groups have emerged as one of the adaptive strategies of family farming, enabling it to remain in the territories despite the externalities that affect it. The objective of this research was to identify the contributions of the savings and credit groups promoted by Corporación Grupo Semillas in southern Tolima, as possible contributions to the strengthening of family farming in Colombia. The work was framed within the qualitative approach, specifically a case study. A module of the Manuel Quintín Lame Agroecological and Territorial School - emql was accompanied and observed, and semi-structured interviews were conducted, which were later transcribed and analyzed. The savings and credit groups in southern Tolima are part of a comprehensive and participatory rural extension process that has been led by Grupo Semillas. Through the savings and credit groups, contributions are made to the strengthening of family farming that contribute to the implementation of nine of the nineteen public policy guidelines established in Resolution 464 of 2017, for the strengthening of af in Colombia. These contributions can be grouped into four categories: a) financial inclusion; b) strengthening of associative processes, social fabric, solidarity and participation; c) contributions to rural extension and education processes; and d) promotion of consumption and production of af products at the local level. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations for continuing to strengthen pa in Colombia through savings and credit groups are presented.

(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Laura Carolina Lasso Castelblanco
This study was carried out in Jerusalem, Cundinamarca, with the purpose of building a participatory strategy for the commercialization of local products in collaboration with peasant associations and local institutions. It exposes the relevance of the construction of plans for the territorialization of Resolution 464 of 2017 of the Ministry of Agriculture and promote processes of political incidence at the local level that result in the strengthening of the social group of the acfc. Among the results, an important potential is identified in the local acfcs, based on the pluriactivity and multifunctionality of the predominant productive systems, expressed in the production and commercialization of fresh products, minimally processed foods such as beverages, and a great diversity of foods and beverages. traditional and even handicrafts. In the same way, the culturalization of the diet, the demand for typical local foods and the preference for fresh products represent an opportunity to strengthen the short marketing circuits in the municipality and promote more cooperative and supportive forms of economy. The construction process of the Municipal Community Agenda for Local Markets is presented, which is aligned with local development plans, Resolution 464/2017 and the fao policy recommendation for ff. This work provides a methodology to generate an impact on territorial food decisions, based on community participation and thus guarantee the inclusion of the acfc in the local agri-food system, the promotion of local markets through the establishment and regulation of an articulated route of actions between actors.
