Properly designed agroforestry systems (AFS) can generate optimal cocoa bean (BC) yields, produce co-products and provide ecosystem services. This study analyzes the interactions between climate, AFS structure BC yield in six climatic zones across three natural regions of Colombia. A total 305 plots 1,000 m 2 each were established 132 farms where cocoa-AFS structure, variables determined. Five typologies obtained based on characteristics shade canopy abundance trees: “Highly diversified...
Abstract One of the most important livelihoods for rural households in Colombia is cultivation sugarcane ( Saccharum spp.) to produce panela. We analyzed livelihood strategies associated with panela production and their impacts on households' wellbeing Caquetá, southern Colombia. selected 81 gather data calculate correlations between capitals identify community capital indicators. Our results identified three types producers: Avant-garde, Traditionalists, Diversifiers, each specific...
Introducción: Los cultivos de café, cacao y pasturas para la ganadería son actividades agropecuarias interés económico en Colombia. Cuando estas se desarrollan bajo sistemas agroforestales (SAF) promueven conservación e incrementan fijación carbono y, por ende, mitigación del cambio climático. Objetivo: El estudio estimó el almacenamiento biomasa aérea, necromasa orgánico suelo SAF con (SAF cacao), café (café SAF), silvopastoriles (SSP) bosque municipio Mesetas, Meta (Colombia). Métodos: Se...
Cocoa quality is affected by genetic variability and conditions in the region of origin that impact physicochemical, functional sensory characteristics cocoa bean. For purpose this study, spatial distribution was analyzed using a indicator related variables (phenolic antioxidant content) attributes (organoleptic qualities notes) samples from different clones municipalities Mesetas Vista Hermosa department Meta, Colombia. In 83 sampling plots distributed 22 farms with agroforestry...
Cocoa bean quality depends mainly on genetic material, edaphoclimatic factors and post-harvest processes such as fermentation. The impact of the fermentation process chemical functional composition different cocoa clones grown in southern Colombia was analyzed. A factorial design with repeated measures over time used to analyze effect clone characteristics (bromatology, phenolic compounds antioxidant activity). bromatological showed significant differences between time. Clones EET-8 CCN-51...
Abstract The concept of well-being rural families is part a theory under construction in which new theoretical elements are constantly being incorporated. This research aims to determine the influence farmers’ knowledge on well‑being cocoa growing departments Santander, Huila, Meta and Caquetá, Colombia. Four categories farmers were identified with different levels management cultivation obtained through cluster analysis. farmers, understood as balance capital endowment households, was...
Production for self-provisioning contributes to food security in rural territories; however, studies have indicated that this capacity is limited. We analyzed the impact of livelihood strategies on conditions 162 households department Huila, Colombia. analyzed: a. source foods; b. composition home gardens; c. push and pull factors towards self-provisioning. found are 79% dependent grocery stores their food. Only 51% a garden, with limited plant species diversity. Capacity varies according...
To increase the yield and quality of cocoa beans, a variety institutions in Colombia have developed training processes to improve level knowledge producing families. However, yet our research has found persistent deficiencies because many topics do not respond gaps needs. This study identified local producers through participatory action methodology called "Cacota test" different municipalities growing departments (Santander, Huila, Meta, Caquetá Guaviare). The Test" was used identify links...

La caracterización de prácticas manejo es el primer paso en la reconversión sistemas productivos cada vez más sostenibles; pero sostenibilidad no solo se trata del modelo productivo, sino las personas. Aunque existen metodologías desde los indicadores sostenibilidad, carece enfoques centrados familia y cómo esta sobrepone a adversidades. Por ello, objetivo investigación fue caracterizar agropecuarios distrito Conservación Aguas Suelos Caquetá través enfoque medios vida marco capitales...
