La Agricultura en la Determinación del Desarrollo Colombiano

Abstract

Based on the hypothesis that agriculture generates development, three main arguments are outlined, the first of which is the creation of social fabric with the incorporation of social, cultural and economic capital. The second highlights the role of local productive forces and the knowledge of the communities that inhabit the territory, which constitute a body of knowledge that is essential for development. And finally, the competitive advantages in the national context are exhibited. The foregoing is an approximation of what can be done in terms of agriculture in Colombia, which is a highly biodiverse country, and is based on the premise that it is impossible to industrialize without first developing agriculture.
