摘要:This article contributes elements to view agroecology as a political option for peace building in Colombia within the framework of the land and rural development agreements made in La Habana, Cuba. The proposals resulting from using academic and political analysis documents and from fieldwork carried out in the south of Tolima are: 1) to carry out a theoretical approximation of the agroecology concept; 2) to contextualize the agricultural issue within the framework of Colombia’s conflict and the extractivist agro-industrial model; 3) to analyze the implications of the agricultural problems present in the southern region of Tolima and the manifestations of community resistance, and 4) to ponder on the strengths and limitations of agroecology as a means of peace building in Colombia.
