Abstract: Agricultural hydraulic systems, based on raised fields and canals, enabled pre-Hispanic populations of the Sabana de Bogota to produce food in an environment with edaphic and hydric limitations, supporting their subsistence before the Spanish conquest. Although studies exist on their functioning, research on the soil’s microbiological dimension is almost non-existent, despite its essential role in agricultural conservation. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the vestiges that remain in order to assess their potential as a sustainable cultivation strategy in territories with adverse conditions, contributing to current discussions on food security and sovereignty.
