La cuestión de la tierra en el marco de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible en Colombia

This document presents the new Sustainable Development Goals in relation to the rural context in Colombia. While noting the positive balance for poverty reduction in Colombia as a result of the effort to meet the Millennium Development Goals, the emphasis now is placed on the need to address poverty and rural inequality to achieve long-term goals. To address the new goals in the rural areas means addressing the scope of land ownership and land structures. In Colombia´s countryside, ensuring income, stability and sustainability of production involves land issues. In this context, it is necessary to address not only the strategies that deliver results in the medium term but also those that have generated negative effects for the sustainable development of the rural population, in particular, the structure of land and land ownership.
