Abstract

Since several decades ago, the importance of taking care of the environment has taken relevance by different events which show the environmental damage caused by inappropriate residues management, water sources contamination, deforestation, poaching, etc. Those and other dynamics interact constantly with the environment, a system affected by unsustainable activities which endanger the fauna and floras’territory, essential elements for our survival. That said, the presence of illicit crops in Colombia represents environmental and social problems for the state, which opted over years to decrease these crops by aerial spraying with glyphosate, to leave without funding to illegal groups, decrease the high figures of massacres and murders to social leaders in the country (Serna, 2021). However, the aerial spraying with glyphosate has created several impacts on the environment which degrade the ecosystems where this practice happens, also is created social impacts due to armed conflict and their consequences as displacements, which represents one of the biggest problems in different regions of the country. Accordingly, it raise through monograph, realize an evaluation to the environmental strategies by the aerial spraying with glyphosate in illicit crops ubicated in one of the departments affected by this practice, as Valle del Cauca, this evaluation will be carried out via instruments of investigation as maps, Conesa matrix, sociogram and surveys with qualitative focus and descriptive scope.
