Abstract
Este estudio propone una metodología para la medición de la resiliencia agroecológica en
sistemas campesinos, comparando prácticas de manejo cultural con enfoque agroecológico (a)
y convencional (c) en la cordillera central de los Andes Colombianos. Un equipo técnico en conjunto
con campesinos midieron los indicadores de resiliencia agroecológica en fincas agroecológicas
y convencionales. Los indicadores seleccionados abordaron: a) la caracterización del evento
climático (amenaza), b) estimación del nivel de vulnerabilidad y c) la capacidad de respuesta
por medio de prácticas de agricultura sostenible. El estudio identifico diferencias en la resiliencia
entre fincas agroecológicas e convencionales, mostrando que las prácticas de manejo agroecológico
tienden a mostrar una mayor capacidad de resiliencia frente a los riesgos climáticos. La
definición e identificación de estas capacidades mostraron el potencial de la gestión del riesgo
desde el abordaje de la capacidad de respuesta y adaptación. Y son precisamente los campesinos
con manejos alternativos los que fueron capaces de enfrentar, resistir y recuperarse de eventos
meteorológicos extremos.
ABSTRACT: This study proposes a methodology to measure agroecological resilience in peasant farming systems, comparing forms of agroecological cultural systems (a) within the conventional cultural systems(c) in the central Colombian Andes. A technical team joint with farmers measured agroecological resilience indicators in agroecological and conventional properties. The selected indicators include: a) characterization of the climatic event (threat), b) level of vulnerability, c) the farmers capacity of response. This study showed that agroecological farms tend to exhibit a higher resilience capacity tan conventionally managed farms in the face of climates risks. The definition and the identification of this capacity highlight the potential risk management strategies used by farmers identifying their response and adaptation capacity. Peasants using alternative cultural treatments were able to deal resist and recover from extreme meteorological events, thus serving as models for nearby farmers who experience greater damage from climate change.
