Evaluación Agroecológica De Los Sistemas Productivos Agrícolas En La Microcuenca Centella (dagua, Colombia)

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The Sustainability Index of Agricultural Production Systems (SIAPS) was used to assess the ecological integrity of study area in the Centella watershed (Dagua, Valle del Cauca). Four components were evaluated: soil management and hedging, water management, solid waste, and social, economic, political and institutional aspects for a total of 23 indicators. SIAPS was used to compare production systems and to estimate conditions of integrity amongst farms. The results permitted definition of minimum thresholds of ecosystem capacity for supporting anthropogenic use. 38% of the farms were constituted as best performers, 56% are "above the threshold" and only 6% were "below the threshold". The key issue is not that farmers use the exact same techniques used by those of the "headlight", but that they are presented as an example of the management and conservation of resources, planning and promotion of sustainable human development on farms.
