Analysis of the Colombian agricultural sector in the context of Latin American social issues

Abstract

Farmers now face the new challenge of becoming entrepreneurs. This requires a radical transformation of the country side and of peasant mentality which must begin at primary school, through to agricultural college and universities. We need to form agricultural technicians with and innovativ mentalit that will make agricultural processes more efficient and using organic agriculture to close the gap with traditional agricultural practices. The result will be cleaner technologies which will significantly improve agricultural production and produce healthier food for the Colombian people.
