¿Cómo los campesinos contrarrestan el mal momento económico por el que atraviesa el país?

Abstract

The investigation, carried out in a journalistic product, evidences a problem that potato farmers in Jenesano, Boyacá, are going through to counteract the ban economic times that the country is going through as a result of the rise in the prices of primary materials for the cultivation of the tuber, such as the importation of potatoes from European countries like a Belgium, Germany and Holland and the low cost that the “intermediaries” offer the farmers to resell it at a high cost to the shopkeeper who, finally, must find profits in sale to the consumer.

Likewise, evidence can be found in the study based on the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt school that allows us to understand the social phenomenon that is currently occurring, wich was believed to have been generated as a result of the National Strike that lasted several months and of the Coronavirus that still continues to affect normality, thanks to this project, it is possible to show the different reasons that exist which are leading every day more to many peasants abandoning this ancestral profession and going bankrupt, leaving hundreds of people without sustenance and food, in the country.
