Impactos del TLC Colombia - Unión Europea en la Seguridad Alimentaria en Colombia: Un Análisis Crítico Sobre la Teoría de Libre Mercado y el Concepto de Soberanía Alimentaria

Abstract

The study analyzes the impact of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Colombia and the European Union on food security and the agricultural sector in Colombia, exploring the dynamics of poverty and hunger, as well as trade policies in the production and distribution of food. Additionally, the effects of trade liberalization on competition, local prices, and other factors are examined. On the other hand, it is deemed relevant to examine the percentage of land and resource concentration in the hands of small farmers compared to large corporations. This research aims to provide a comprehensive view of the implications of the FTA on food security and rural development, contributing to the understanding of the most effective strategies to combat poverty and hunger in the country. Finally, an analytical descriptive approach is used to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of the FTA, considering economic and social indicators in order to understand the ability of small farmers to compete in a global market, while also analyzing Food Sovereignty as a potential solution to improve food security in Colombia.
