Abstract

Aunque los temas alrededor del café han sido extensamente analizados en Colombia, son pocas las investigaciones que trabajan las relaciones entre la caficultura y el conflicto armado. Este artículo, producto de un estudio de carácter cualitativo con caficultores -mayoritariamente mujeres- del municipio de Ciénaga, Magdalena, aportó a comprender dicha relación en un contexto local, reconociendo la incidencia del conflicto en el cultivo y la producción de café, los ingresos familiares, el resquebrajamiento de lazos comunitarios y organizativos, y la vida cotidiana en el campo. Los resultados permiten observar el papel de las familias y las mujeres en el sostenimiento de la producción cafetera, y en la reconstrucción de espacios familiares y sociales; y evidencian cómo las migraciones, las tradiciones y saberes campesinos, el empoderamiento de las mujeres y de las familias han sido determinantes para sobrevivir en territorios afectados por diversas violencias y actores ilegales.

Alternate abstract:

Although issues around coffee production have been extensively studied in Colombia, there are few studies on the relationship between coffee cultivation and armed conflict. This article is the product of a qualitative study with coffee growers -mainly women- from the municipality of Ciénaga (Magdalena), and contributes to analyzing the relationship between coffee and armed conflict in a local context. It shows how the latter has impacted the former as well as family incomes and wellbeing by breaking community and organizational ties and changing daily life. Additionally, it helps to understand the role of families and women in coffee production, and how they help to mitigate the armed conflict. It also shows how migrations, peasant traditions and knowledge, families, and the empowerment of women have allowed them to survive in territories affected by those dynamics and violent actors.
