ACEVEDO-OSORIO, Álvaro. MONOFUNCIONALITY, MULTIFUNCIONALITY AND HYBRIDIZATION OF AGRICULTURE'S FUNTIONS OF THE GUAGUARCO RIVER BASIN IN THE SOUTHERN TOLIMA. Luna Azul [online]. 2016, n.43, pp.251-285. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2016.43.12.

The monofunctional role of the business-oriented agriculture has generated serious environmental and socio-cultural imbalances that threaten its future productivity. An appraisal of agriculture's multifunctionality in 18 traditional farming systems, livestock farming and monoculture farming, evaluated at the Guaguarco river basin with biophysical, social, cultural, productive and financial variables, evaluated the traditional farming systems as the most functional followed by the livestock farming and monoculture farming. The farmer's capability to deploy multiple functions to their farming systems, constitute a strategy to face the adversities that put at risk continuity.

Palabras clave : Multifunctionality; traditional farming; farming systems; multiple functions of the agriculture.
