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.
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 4. Estrategia participativa para la comercialización local y fortalecimiento de la Agricultura Campesina Familiar, Étnica y Comunitaria (acfec) en Jerusalén, Cundinamarca
(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.
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 7. Instrumento para la identificación rápida de organizaciones de la Agricultura Campesina Familiar, Étnica y Comunitaria en Colombia
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Ruben Dario Ortiz Morales, Arlex Angarita Leiton, Samuel Gutiérrez Jaramillo
Family Farming has currently been gaining relevance in the political agendas of different governments and even from Colombia through Resolution 464 of 2017, which establishes the strategic guidelines of public policy for Family and Community Peasant Agriculture- acfc. Arising the need not only to identify, categorize and involve individuals in the public policy, but also, it is necessary to identify the organizations that make up this category, therefore, this article aims to present a methodology for the rapid identification of organizations belonging to the category of Family and Community Peasant Agriculture - cfca in Colombia. The instrument is consolidated by the experience in the development of Participatory Action Research - pra exercises implemented by the Research Workshop on Peasant Studies and Food Sovereignty (siecsa), in addition to a review of bibliographic sources, as well as the criteria focused by Resolution 464. This instrument makes it possible to obtain a quick general characterization for organizations that meet the normative standards set forth in the resolution, in addition to rescuing other basic characteristics that prevail in the dynamics of family farmers, based on the multifunctionality and pluriactivity of their productive activities and sociocultural identity dynamics. It is important to note that the resolution focuses on categorizing producers and not organizations, and does so under purely economic-productive indicators, leaving out the dynamics that are established from the socio-cultural and environmental dimensions that are essential to the identity of family farmers in Colombia, so the instrument inquires a little about it to make a fairer identification of acfc organizations to be participants in the implementation of plans, programs and projects.
Capítulo 9. Fortaleciendo los sistemas de producción agroecológicos de gallinas criollas en la Empresa Comunitaria Mujeres Rurales de Guapi Ríos Unidos
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Sonia Edith Naranjo González, Victoria Eugenia Larraniaga Campo
The Rural Women’s Community Enterprise of Guapi “Rios Unidos” articulates 12 community groups, with 132 associated Afro-descendant women, located along the Guapi, Napi and San Francisco Rivers in the department of Cauca. The company is based on the empowerment of women in the region, basing its work on integrated production models and the conservation of natural resources. By 2008 there was a decrease in the breeding and reproduction of Creole hens, due to factors such as the deficiency in soil productivity due to the eradication of illicit crops, insecurity and the increase of poultry farms based on the use of conventional agro-industrial production technologies; therefore, it is crucial for the Community Enterprise to implement practices that allow the strengthening of traditional systems of Creole hen production through a production model with an agroecological approach and under the methodology of Participatory Action Research -par. The process is developed in four phases: phase 1 design, research and analysis of the theoretical and practical references on Creole hens; phase 2 diagnosis and characterization of the production model; phase 3 implementation of the production model; phase 4 evaluation, identification and assessment of the production model. The results are 1. Theoretical analysis, 2. Characterization of the Seminary farm, where the production model is located, 3. Design and implementation of an alternative feeding model and a poultry grazing system, 4. In conclusion, a Creole hen production model was implemented with emphasis on agroecological transition in order to strengthen the Creole hen production systems of the Community Enterprise to contribute to the strengthening of Family and Community Farming in the region.
Capítulo 5. Evaluación de la transición agroecológica de sistemas productivos de cacao en las organizaciones de la Agricultura Campesina Familiar, Étnica y Comunitaria (acfec) aspra, asprocao y agroguamal, en el Meta
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Angie Dayana Lasso Prada, Nancy Surley Avila Pinilla
In the department of Meta, cocoa cultivation is one of the dynamic axes of the peasant family and community economy, however, the step towards a sustainable production with an agroecological approach is one of the main needs and challenges at present; after fighting against an extractivist production model that has caused irreversible impacts on the communities in the environmental, social, cultural, political and economic component of the department. The present work proposes the characterization of the current cocoa production models of the aspra, asprocao and agroguamal Associations of Alto Ariari in the department of Meta, through the methodology proposed by fao and indap “manual for the Agroecological transition”, with the purpose of proposing actions that aim to create the route for the agroecological transition from a diagnosis from the communities that allow the family farmers the sustainability of their productive units. The work carried out includes the characterization of the agroecological principles in the cocoa agroecosystem, the global and specific status of each of the general dimensions of agroecosystem functioning, the determination of the transition stage in which the family farmers of the associations find themselves and the generation of organizational and productive recommendations that the transition implies in terms of changes in agricultural management practices, considering that the transition may involve an optimization of management practices to increase productive efficiency, the substitution of chemical synthesis inputs or the redesign of the system.
Capítulo 8. Fortalecimiento de los circuitos agroalimentarios de la acfec desde el seguimiento económico, la construcción y la divulgación de información por sus actores
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Yubisa Arredondo, Jeniffer Novoa, Jeny Carolina Gómez Verdugo
In 2017, the National Network of Family Agriculture (in Spanish renaf) created the national campaign of peasant, ethnic and agroecological markets “Llevo el Campo Colombiano” with the aim of making them visible as fundamental spaces for the distribution and commercialization of the products of Peasant, Family, Ethnic, and Community Agriculture (in Spanish acfec). In this way, it seeks, on a fair and solidary basis, to promote the recognition of community markets for products coming from peasant, indigenous, afro-descendant, urban, artisanal fishing economies, as well as rural and neo-rural women, men and youth. Through the campaign, data collection mechanisms have been designed to get and socialize information about the commercialization scenarios. These have been applied to producers of the organizations that make up the markets in the different nodes of the network, as well as to the very markets and some consumers. There have been different rhythms and lessons learned in the regions, both in building and appropriation of information and the campaign dynamism. The information has been systematized and consolidated in databases and infographics, which have served as an input for local management and the political incidence of the organizations and the renaf with a view to guaranteeing the continuity and strengthening of the acfec agri-food circuits, as places for local commercialization, as well as for the construction of the rural-urban social fabric.
Capítulo 6. Economía del cuidado en mujeres de la Agricultura Campesina Familiar, Étnica y Comunitaria vinculadas al nodo Cundinamarca de la Red Nacional de Agricultura Familiar (renaf)
(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO, 2024) Nubia Edilma Correa Casas
This work has an exploratory research approach, with the purpose of providing an approximate overview of rural women’s perception of the care economy, in order to provide some recommendations that contribute to the reduction of the gender gap. A research was developed from secondary sources, as well as with primary sources from the work with women belonging to the National Network of Family Agriculture (renaf) of the Cundinamarca node, seeking to show what their perceptions are regarding the care economy, for which surveys and semi-structured interviews were developed, carrying out a case study research. It was concluded that these rural women work approximately 17 hours a day, distributed between productive and reproductive work. They recognize that care work is inequitably distributed in their homes, but they still feel that it is their responsibility to develop it and see it as a “help” when their partners or sons and daughters are involved in the development of these activities, so they put their family’s activities before their interests, and for this reason they do not see a redistribution of care activities in their homes as possible, and as the opportunity cost assumed by them is increasing every day. Although these women do not recognize what activities are being carried out by actors such as renaf, the governor’s office and municipal mayors’ offices to recognize, reduce and redistribute care activities, they are aware that efforts should be strengthened to increase awareness and training for both rural women and men in order to advance towards the 3Rs.
