Uso potencial y efectivo de la tierra agrícola en Colombia : resultados del Censo Nacional Agropecuario

Author

Abstract

El presente estudio tiene por objeto determinar el uso potencial y efectivo del suelo agropecuario del país, a partir de los mapas de aptitud y uso del suelo elaborados por el IGAC y de los resultados del Censo Nacional Agropecuario -CNA 2014. Esta comparación permite identificar las zonas del país en las que se da un mejor aprovechamiento de su potencial productivo, y aquellas en las que hay un mayor conflicto entre uso y vocación, además de los posibles factores que lo explicarían. Para profundizar en el conocimiento sobre el uso del suelo agropecuario en el país, se utiliza la información del CNA para analizar las características productivas y tecnológicas de varios de los cultivos más importantes del país agrupados en tres categorías: exportables, de sustitución de importaciones y no transables. Con base en los resultados del estudio se identifican acciones de política pública encaminadas a hacer un mejor uso del suelo e incrementar la productividad y la producción del sector agropecuario colombiano. El estudio se divide en siete capítulos. El primero plantea los antecedentes y el objetivo del estudio. El segundo capítulo presenta la metodología utilizada para el análisis. El tercer capítulo resume algunos de los resultados más relevantes del CNA. El cuarto capítulo presenta los resultados de vocación y uso del suelo a nivel nacional y regional. El quinto capítulo resume los principales indicadores del CNA para el conjunto de cultivos seleccionados y los resultados en cuanto a la vocación y uso de los suelos en los que se ubican. El sexto capítulo incluye los resultados del modelo sobre los determinantes de la productividad y de la eficiencia técnica para cada uno de los cultivos. Por último, el capítulo séptimo presenta las conclusiones y recomendaciones.
