Este libro recoge una selección de los aportes surgidos en el Segundo Congreso Internacional organizado por Inred – Empoderados con el trabajo enredes, un espacio de divulgación y de diálogo en el que confluyen la comunidad académica, científicos, el Gobierno y el sector privado. En esta ocasión se abordan los problemas, los debates y las nuevas propuestas para atender los desafíos del desarrollo rural en un escenario de posconflicto, un contexto que abre oportunidades, pero que a la vez plantea enormes retos en un sector tradicionalmente olvidado e infravalorado por el centro político, económico y social del país. Aquí se recogen experiencias y propuestas en torno al desarrollo humano y los problemas sociales en las comunidades campesinas; el desarrollo rural sostenible; el papel de las iniciativas privadas y el mercado en el desarrollo rural, entre otros temas.
Este libro reconoce la diversidad de la tierra y su importancia para el desarrollo. Concibe lo rural desde la complejidad política, económica, cultural y social, y busca un desarrollo sostenible que mejore la calidad de vida de los campesinos y fortalezca la economía colombiana.
