“…The plots are part of small farms (average 5.3 ha) in which management practices, decision making and administration are carried out by the family, with its members educated and employed in a traditional way in daily tasks and learning about the environment, which is preserved in memory and inherited from generation to generation (Fernandez et al, 2010;UNESCO, 2021;PCC, 2021). This panorama of the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia led to its declaration in 2011 as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), as it is considered as a scenario that should be prioritized for the preservation of the tangible (type of architecture in housing and crops, introduction of biodiversity-friendly systems and benefits in the generation of ecosystem services) (Ruiz-Cobo et al, 2010;Botero-Arango et al, 2020, Rojas-Cano et al, 2021 and the intangible (culture, rootedness, sense of place, heritage and identity) and, because of the risk in the destruction of its unique characteristics, in which man with his ingenuity has managed to modify the landscapes.…”

Understanding how and what land cover changes and transitions have occurred in a territory is crucial to planning and managing high-demand surfaces. At the landscape level, the challenge is determining the allocation and management of various land cover options. Therefore, for natural resources planning and management, a study characterizing and analysing the territory of interest should be included. This work aimed to analyse the changes and land cover patterns in the city of Pereira, Colombia, within the framework of the Colombian Coffee Cultural Landscape. The evaluated period was between 1997 and 2014, and a Geographic Information System, ENVI 4.8 programme and QGIS programme were used for multitemporal analysis. To describe the land cover transitions, two temporal moments were analysed with Landsat satellite images: one moment was for the year 1997, which was taken in August (Landsat 5), and the other moment was for the year 2014, which was taken in July (Landsat 8). At level 1 of CORINE (Coordination of information on the environment), the areas of land cover corresponding to agricultural areas, forests and semi-natural areas decreased most in the analysis period, while artificial surfaces increased. At level 3, the cover with the greatest decrease in territory was coffee crops, which showed a negative annual loss rate of -3.97%, followed by permanent crops (-2.67%). The continuous and discontinuous urban fabric showed the greatest growth with a positive annual rate of 4.14%. In conclusion, the land cover that lost the most territory was coffee crop, mainly due to political-economic factors, such as the dissolution of the International Coffee Agreement and the National Federation of Coffee Growers that discouraged coffee cultivation and permanent crops. Likewise, sociocultural factors, such as smallholder farmers have guided the changes in land cover and have stimulated productive styles to adapt and remain, increasing heterogeneous agricultural areas.

Nature’s Contributions to People Shape Sense of Place in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia

Understanding the roots of a sense of place in farmlands is crucial for stopping rural exodus to urban areas. Farmers’ experiences related to their way of life, peace and quiet, rootedness, pleasure, and inspiration are fundamental components of a sense of place in farmlands. Here, we used the city of Pereira located in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia (CCLC) to examine the role of nature’s contributions to people (NCP) in forming meanings and attachments that shape their sense of place to this region. This region has experienced intense agricultural lands abandonment due to rapid urbanization over the last decades. To do so, a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods was used, including semi-structured interviews, observation, and dialogue, to capture farmers’ perceptions and emotions associated with farmlands, reasons for remaining, and the diversity of NCPs. Results indicated that farmers recognized farmlands as a quiet and safe space that support family cohesion. Results also showed that the characteristics of the farms (e.g., agricultural practices, distance to cities, and gender) play an important role in articulating a farmer’s attachment to farmlands. Finally, farmers identified nonmaterial NCP (e.g., physical and psychological experiences and supportive identities) to be the most important contributions for shaping their sense of place. We call for the need to include robust and transparent deliberative and negotiation mechanisms that are inclusive of all relevant stakeholders, to aim to address unequal power, and to recognize and strengthen communities’ mechanisms of action on the CCLC.

Investigación producto de explorar la educación deseada por los caficultores desde la perspectiva de familia. A partir de cartografía social, se establecieron categorías empíricas en colaboración con familias caficultoras del municipio de Risaralda-Caldas. Colombia, ¿Quién es el caficultor?; Educación popular; y la interacción entre ambas categorías. Posteriormente, se procedió a sistematizar las experiencias de los participantes y a contrastar los hallazgos de campo con la teoría, generando así un conocimiento de segundo orden. Esta investigación se basa en principios metodológicos de la Investigación-Acción-Participativa propuesta por Orlando Fals Borda (1983). Este enfoque implica abordar los problemas sociales y educativos mediante la interacción y la colaboración con las comunidades, con el objetivo de diagnosticar y buscar soluciones conjuntas, siguiendo la filosofía de Paulo Freire (1970), que aboga por una educación más cercana, auténtica y orientada al desarrollo humano. Se compararon los hallazgos obtenidos en el campo con una revisión sistemática de la literatura utilizando el método PRISMA, con el fin de identificar estudios a nivel internacional, nacional y local relacionados con la educación popular dirigida a las familias caficultoras. Durante esta revisión, se observó poca investigación sobre las necesidades educativas de los agricultores y sus familias, basada en sus conocimientos del sistema eco-cafetero.
