    The Colombian conflict —or in other words the leading actions of armed groups based in areas with
    little state presence— can largely be explained by the low level of agricultural development in the coun-
    try, and the inability to make agrarian reform a reality. Added to this is the impact that the country’s
    transformation has had on rural areas. It is clear that the restructuring of the rural economy must be a
    social and regional transformation that puts an end to the enormous delay which has kept Colombia’s
    rural population living in conditions of the late 19 th century. It is therefore critical to provide a holistic
    solution to these situations and formulate public policy that promotes the democratization of property,
    association-based production, the generation of added value to traditional rural products, production
    for food self-sufficiency in the country, access to markets, improvement to family income and the chance
    for the rural population to experience a fuller enjoyment of life.
