Abstract
A radical transformation of relations between towns has been observed, marked by the erosion of urban areas' capacity for self-supply. This phenomenon, combined with the violence afflicting rural areas, has weakened the rural social fabric and driven the displacement of a population seeking, in the city, opportunities denied to them. This situation has been fostered and reinforced by public policies favoring cities and an investment model that treats the city as the only viable development setting. In response, it is necessary to strengthen peasant organization, revitalize agricultural activity, and recognize rural Colombia's place in building solutions to the marginalization and impoverishment of the countryside.
