El hambre en Colombia: Responsabilidad estatal en el contexto del conflicto armado – periodo 2020-2023

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of the armed conflict on food insecurity in Colombia during the 2020-2023 period and evaluates the effectiveness of the public policies implemented by the state to mitigate this issue. It uses a qualitative approach, based on the analysis of reports, academic studies, and government documents, to examine how forced displacement, the destruction of agricultural infrastructure, and territorial control by armed actors exacerbate food insecurity. The general objective is to assess the state's responsibility in guaranteeing the right to food in the most vulnerable communities. The results show that, although the state implements some policies, their effectiveness is limited due to a lack of continuity, coordination, and presence in the most affected areas. It is concluded that, to effectively mitigate food insecurity, the state must adopt a comprehensive and sustainable approach that considers the specific needs of the regions impacted by the conflict.
