El horizonte sostenible de la transformación rural de Barbosa: estudio comparativo de las propuestas de los planes de desarrollo 2016-2019 y 2020-2023

Abstract

Barbosa is the municipality with the largest vocation and rural population in the Aburrá Valley, with an extension of 206 square kilometers, of which only three constitute the urban area. This municipality, with 56 rural areas, located to the north of the Aburrá Valley, which, if production and the market are strengthened, could become the agricultural pantry of this sub-region. However, its tourist potential, and the improper uses of the land threaten to end the rurality and sustainability of the territory. However, if environmental and ecosystem protection proposals are not considered, that control the proliferation of recreational farms, respect territorial planning and establish impact measures that allow mitigation and adaptation to climate change, food security and ecosystem balance of this territory, and in general of the Aburrá Valley, would be at risk. In this sense, this study aims to "Identify, through a comparative matrix, the intervention proposals that favor sustainable development in the rural area of the municipality of Barbosa, embodied in the Development Plans of 2016-2019 and 2020-2023, that aim to guarantee a sustainable horizon for this territory, and therefore for the Valle de Aburrá subregion.
