EL PROCESO DE PAZ CON LAS FARC: ¿UNA OPORTUNIDAD PARA REDUCIR LA POBREZA RURAL Y AUMENTAR LA PRODUCTIVIDAD AGROPECUARIA?

Abstract

The long-standing conflict in Colombia has inflicted substantial costs on the population and the economic development of the country. Since conflict occurs mainly in the country’s rural areas, the economic impacts of violence are higher for these territories. The purpose of this paper is to describe the impact of armed conflict on Colombia’s rural population and the current conditions of rural areas as well as discuss whether the peace agreements with FARC may contribute to improve these conditions.
