Assessment of the sustainability of family farmers agroecosystems in the watershed of Cormechoque river (Boyaca — Colombia)

The research determines the sustainability level of farmers families agroecosystems in the watersheds of river Cormechoque in Boyaca (Colombia). The objective was to analyze and evaluate peasant agricultural practices and their effect on the productive, environmental and financial performance of suc...

The objective was to analyze and evaluate peasant agricultural practices and their effect on the productive, environmental and financial performance of such agroecosystems, The "Frameworl for assessing management systems of natural resources incorporating sustainability indicators" (MESMIS) was utilized from the biotic, technological and socio-economic components characterization, through six evaluation criteria and fifteen sustainability indicators, rated on a scale from 1 to 5.The results show that there are differences between the biological composition, technological and socioeconomic aspects in agroecosystems evaluated, due to differences in agricultural practices and management of environmental supply. The Tocavita agroecosystem had the highest level of sustainability due to the indicators group performance that account for the management of environmental supply (availability of water, biodiversity, soil quality), as well as cultural practices (plant cover, use of local seeds, training and dependence on external inputs) that positively impacts the profitability indicators group (Net present value and cost benefit) resulting in greater permanence of the family unit in agricultural activities.La investigación analizó y evaluó las prácticas agrícolas campesinas en la cuenca del río Cormechoque, en Boyacá (Colombia), y su efecto sobre el desempeño productivo, ambiental y financiero de los agroecosistemas familiares campesinos, con el objetivo de determinar el nivel de sustentabilidad de estos. A nivel metodológico se utilizó el “Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Incorporando Indicadores de Sustentabilidad” (MESMIS), a partir de la caracterización de los componentes bióticos, tecnológicos y socioeconómicos a través de seis criterios de evaluación y quince indicadores de sustentabilidad valorados en una escala desde 1 hasta 5. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias en la composición biológica, aspectos tecnológicos y socioeconómicos en los agroecosistemas evaluados, en razón a las diferencias en las prácticas agrícolas y la gestión de la oferta ambiental. De tal forma que el nivel de sustentabilidad de estos agroecosistemas está dado por la condición cultural de la familia rural, reflejada en su capacidad para incorporar prácticas agrícolas eficientes, mantener altos niveles de biodiversidad y una constante capacidad de aprendizaje, generando tales niveles de productividad y rentabilidad que facilita la cohesión del núcleo familiar alrededor de la actividad agropecuaria.application/pdfspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ciencia_agricultura/article/view/4804/3870Copyright (c) 2016 CIENCIA Y AGRICULTURAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Ciencia y Agricultura; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2016); 29-47Ciencia y Agricultura; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2016); 29-472539-0899agricultural practicesagroecologycormechoque wathershed riverMESMISsustainability indicators.agroecologíacuenca del río Cormechoqueindicadores de sustentabilidadMESMISprácticas agrícolasAssessment of the sustainability of family farmers agroecosystems in the watershed of Cormechoque river (Boyaca — Colombia)Evaluación de la sustentabilidad de agroecosistemas familiares campesinos en la microcuenca del río Cormechoque (Boyacá)info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinvestigationhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Fonseca-Carreño, Jorge ArmandoCleves-Leguízamo, José AlejandroLeón-Sicard, Tomás001/10562oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/105622025-07-18 11:01:23.402metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co
