Identificación de la factibilidad técnica y ambiental del cultivo de cáñamo, Cannabis Sativa L, en la vereda Las Quebradas, Piedecuesta, Santander: un enfoque en la nueva ruralidad y la sostenibilidad
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-02-18) Valdivieso Mendoza, Silvia Juliana; Estupiñán Aponte, Luis Carlos
This project aims to identify the technical and environmental feasibility of hemp cultivation in the village of Las Quebradas, Piedecuesta, Santander, Colombia. It is proposed as a comprehensive strategy to revitalize rural areas and promote sustainable development in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. Special emphasis is placed on goals related to affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), fostering industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9), and promoting sustainable production and consumption patterns (SDG 12). In response to challenges such as youth migration to urban areas, the decline of the active rural population, environmental degradation caused by inadequate agricultural practices, overexploitation of natural resources, the disconnect between production and markets, and the lack of added value in agricultural production, this study seeks new economically and environmentally sustainable opportunities for the rural community of Piedecuesta. The importance of diversifying production methods and accessing environmentally friendly products is emphasized. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis that combines the principles of new rurality and sustainability. It examined aspects such as the availability of suitable land for cultivation, the municipality’s compatibility with the agroecological factors required for hemp development, the potential for job creation, and possible environmental impacts. In conclusion, productive alternatives are offered that foster rural development and promote hemp cultivation as a viable and sustainable option, significantly contributing to the well-being and prosperity of rural communities in Colombia.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2024-09-11) Sánchez Reyes, David Segundo; Blanco Tirado, Teresa del Socorro
This study was conducted with the objective of formulating strategies with a participatory approach to help small producers associated with COOCIC advance in complying with the NE001 standard for Sustainable Palm Oil from Colombia (APSCO), in the municipality of Tamalameque, Cesar. These producers face significant challenges, such as climate change and market regulations, which affect the commercialization of palm oil in the European market, making certification in sustainability standards necessary. The research used a non-experimental descriptive methodology based on territorial planning.

The results obtained reveal that the overall average sustainability index (IDS) of the producers was 43.1%. This percentage highlights critical areas that require attention, particularly in the environmental and social dimensions, which received scores of 21.2% and 38.1%, respectively. Identified limitations include non-compliance with environmental and labor regulations, particularly in aspects such as water resource management, chemical waste management, protection of flora and fauna, labor formalization, and the occupational health and safety management system (SGSST).

Análisis del sistema agroalimentario implementado en las comunidades con situación de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica para determinar los efectos en la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en Puerto Wilches
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2023-01-24) Pérez García, César Augusto; Estupiñán Aponte, Luis Carlos; Universidad Santo Tomás
which is located on the banks of the Magdalena River 143 kilometers from the city of Bucaramanga, whose main economic activities are the planting of African palm, small-scale agriculture and livestock. Today, agri-food systems are replaced by conventional agriculture and extractive economies, mainly oil palm and oil extraction in the territory. However, the Small Agricultural Producers of the municipality contribute from their plots with the supply of locally produced food, guaranteeing the transport of food to the local market, made up of small neighborhood shops, able to distribute food to communities in situations of socio-economic vulnerability. For the development of this project, a methodological framework of qualitative and quantitative research was used; the latter method is based on the search for secondary information contained in the coordination instruments. articulation and follow-up arranged for the SAN of the Wilchense territory. In the case of the qualitative method, it is ethnographic, supported by primary information collection instruments, such as; semi-structured interviews, recordings and field observations of small-scale food producers in conditions of socio-economic vulnerability and to the entities responsible for agri-food intervention in the region. From the results obtained, it was determined that the producers of Puerto Wilches have ancestral knowledge inherited and transmitted from generation to generation, which have been perfected with daily work. This knowledge favors the care of the environment and helps the sustainable development of the municipality. The production obtained is not varied, but it contributes to family nutrition and strengthens food sovereignty. On the other hand, the lack of synergy of the institutions identified in the territory that support the agri-food system was evidenced, which leads to a lower food coverage for communities in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability. Nevertheless, this document presents a series of recommendations that contribute to the improvement of the current agrifood system, as an academic contribution from this research.
