Typology of production systems in the rural area of Ibague, Colombia.

The aim of this study was to perform a classification of the farms in the rural area of Ibague, Colombia. Between March and April 2013, 55 surveys were applied in five districts. The survey covered human, social, physical, financial, and natural aspects. The classification showed three types of farms: group 1 had a significant proportion of soil under pastures (3.71 ± 5.88 ha) and these were typical systems of peasant economy, which combine agricultural and livestock activities. Group 2 was basically made up of farms dedicated to grow coffee; its surface was small (3.15 ± 2,31 ha). In group 3, farms with land use under pastures predominated; these farms had atypical characteristics, particularly by its size (52.43 ± 111.51 ha). Both agricultural and livestock productive diversity predominated, as well as the typical social heterogeneity of peasant societies.

El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una tipificación de las fincas de la zona rural de Ibagué, Colombia. Se aplicaron 55 encuestas entre marzo y abril del 2013, en cinco corregimientos. La encuesta abarcó aspectos humanos, sociales, físicos, financieros y naturales. La tipificación evidenció tres grupos de fincas: el grupo 1 poseía una importante proporción del suelo bajo pasturas (3,71±5,88 ha) y eran sistemas típicos de economía campesina, en los cuales se combinaban actividades agrícolas y pecuarias. El grupo 2 estuvo conformado básicamente por fincas dedicadas al cultivo del café; su superficie era pequeña (3,15±2,31 ha). En el grupo 3 predominaron las pasturas; fueron fincas con características poco comunes, particularmente por su gran extensión (52,43±111,51 ha). Predominó la diversidad productiva, tanto agrícola como pecuaria, y también la heterogeneidad social típica de las sociedades campesinas.
