Formulación de una guía agroforestal para los municipios ubicados en la vertiente oriental del río Magdalena en el departamento de Cundinamarca con cobertura de bosque seco tropical (Holdridge)

Abstract

The agroforestry guide developed for the municipalities located on the eastern slope of the Magdalena River in Cundinamarca aims to contribute to the reduction of tropical dry forest deforestation through the implementation of sustainable agrosilvopastoral systems. Based on multitemporal analysis using geographic information systems and fieldwork with local communities, the areas most affected by vegetation cover loss and the main productive activities were identified, with extensive cattle ranching being predominant. On the basis of this diagnosis, a productive model was designed that integrates trees, pastures, agricultural crops, and livestock, prioritizing native species and practices adapted to the ecological and socioeconomic conditions of the territory. This system promotes the conservation of soil, water, and biodiversity while improving livestock productivity, food security, and producers’ incomes.
