Abstract: This research aimed to analyze the influence of land use history on the configuration of a rubber agroforestry system (SAF) in the Las Minas village, Santo Domingo district, Florencia, Caquetá. A qualitative and participatory approach was used, conducting an interview with the property owner to reconstruct the history of land use and the configuration of the SAF. The results show that land use history had a significant impact on the current configuration of the SAF. Initially, the land was an abandoned pasture that underwent a natural regeneration process, allowing the soil to recover. Subsequently, the SAF of rubber associated with native timber species was established, following an agroecological approach without the use of agrochemicals. SAF management is carried out organically, using mechanical control of weeds and composting, promoting the resilience and autonomy of the productive system. The associated native timber species contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and ecological processes. The research concludes that the history of land use and the agroecological management practices implemented by the producer were crucial for the current configuration of the rubber SAF, favoring environmental sustainability and long-term productivity.
