ResumenA partir de la implementación del proyecto "Fortalecimiento de la capacidad de adaptación de la agricultura al cambio climático en territorios productores de agua en Cundinamarca", el presente artículo de investigación analiza las estrategias de adaptación en las comunidades de las localidades de Claraval y Chuscales del municipio de Junín, departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia, experiencia en la cual se utilizó la metodología de Investigación Acción Participativa (IAP), con el fin de ajustar criterios de investigación y principios agroecológicos para evaluar las estrategias implementadas. Se incluyó un ejercicio de cartografía social, como un instrumento de planificación y transformación social como soporte a la metodología MESMIS (Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales incorporando Indicadores de Sustentabilidad). Se encontró que la adopción de estrategias agroecológicas para mitigar el cambio climático mejora la dieta de las familias, aumenta el número de productos de la canasta familiar, además los sistemas de policultivos son más eficaces biológicamente en comparación a los monocultivos y que hay mayor estabilidad ecológica, económica, social, energética, e incremento de la productividad laboral en estos agroecosistemas. Se concluye que los sistemas silvopastoriles y policultivos son una estrategia importante en la adaptación de los pequeños productores a los efectos del cambio climático y que la resiliencia de los cultivos y de los productores es importante para la adaptación y recuperación de los sistemas productivos.Palabras clave: biodiversidad, cambio climático, cultivos asociados, principios agroecológicos, resiliencia, sistemas agroforestales. 227Revista de Investigación Agraria y Ambiental -Volumen 6 Número 1 -enero-junio de 2015 -ISSN 2145-6097 AbstractAs of the implementation of the project "Strengthening of the capacity of agriculture to adapt to climate change in water producers territories in Cundinamarca", this research article discusses the adaptation strategies in the communities of localities of Clairvaux and Chuscales of the municipality of Junin, department of Cundinamarca, Colombia, experience in which its used the Research Participatory Action methodology (IAP), in order to set criteria for the investigation and agroecological principles to evaluate the strategies implemented. The study includes an exercise in social mapping, as a planning tool and social transformation as a support for the methodology MESMIS (Framework for the Evaluation of systems for the Management of Natural Resources Incorporating Sustainability Indicators). It was found that the adoption of strategies agroecological to mitigate climate change improves the diet of the families, increases the number of products in the shopping basket, also systems of polycultures are more effective biologically in comparison to the monocultures and that there is a greater ecological stability, economic, social, energy, and an increase of labor productivity in these agroecosystems.

<p><strong>Background</strong>. The bijao<em> </em>(<em>Calathea lutea</em>)<em> </em>is a plant of great importance since it has been used for years in the wrapping of an emblematic Colombian confectionery that is a cultural and financial staple in the area where it is produced. <strong>Objective.</strong> The aim of the research was to identify socioeconomic characters of peasant families dedicated to the production and sale of bijao leaf were, identify the main plant species that accompany bijao in the ecosystem and document the community's perception of the ecosystem services associated with the plant's ecosystem. <strong>Methodology </strong>For the development of this study, were used community interviews, questionnaires, workshops and verification visits at farms and cover forest areas and crop field with Bijao<strong>. </strong> <strong>Results</strong>. Predominantly, leaf production was conducted through family farming in transition, with women playing a fundamental role in the process. The community attributes an important ecological role to bijao, which is predicated on the protection and regulation of water, soil, climate and biodiversity. <strong>Implications</strong>. The study identified conservation values in an ecosystem where pressures exerted on the natural environment by agricultural production, urbanization and tourism prevail. <strong>Conclusions. </strong>The bijao leaf has socioeconomic importance and is part of the local tradition and culture of peasant families, the leaf is embedded in customs and gives identity to the territory. Women maintain the traditional knowledge of bijao for the next generations and it is an option of life and income for young people. The community recognized the environmental services and goods of the bijao areas on soil and water conservation. It provides conservation values of natural resources in an area with conflicts between forest conservation and where they produce agricultural goods.</p>
