Abstract

In the Cantagallo municipality - Bolívar, where the economic conditions of rural families are very poor, it is a challenge for the municipal administration, supporting productive initiatives that help mitigate the population needs, through the Unidad Municipal de Asistencia Técnica Agropecuaria - UMATA, that offers technical support and training to different processes. The report development is the result of the knowledge acquired in Community Work Subjects Group I, II, III applied during the accompaniment of 20 families from El Patico Bajo and Alto, who made a decision to initiate production processes in their smallholdings that help them improve their living conditions. Answering these two, difficulties with the startup of this proposal are sought: on the one hand, a productive occupation of the smallholdings and the other hand, income generation. The farmers expressed that the productive proposal to develop has to be with a product they already know how to cultivate, as the banana. Considering the producers’ knowledge about smallholding characteristics, it made a decision to cultivate the banana trees and the proposal is called: Banana Farming Implementation to improve the life quality of El Patico Alto and Bajo communities of Cantagallo, Bolívar.
