La milpa como alternativa de conversi?3n agroecol?3gica de sistemas agr?-colas convencionales de frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris), en el municipio El Carmen de Viboral, Colombia

摘要

The model of conventional agriculture in El Carmen de Viboral, is based on aproduction system dependent on a high use of synthetic inputs, where monoculture is justified as an essential tool for achieving greater efficiency in the production process. However, this production system has shown serious problems of sustainability and has caused the deterioration of natural resources. In contrast, agroecology is a development strategy that is based on improving the soil, encouraging the use of local inputs, giving greater added value and have a fairer marketing chain.
