Abstract:
Abstract: Turmeric production in the department of Caquetá, especially in Florencia, is undergoing a transition towards more sustainable and responsible practices due to the increasing demand for this plant for its medicinal and culinary properties. Environmentally friendly agricultural practices are being implemented, such as integrated pest and disease management, the use of organic fertilizers, and efficient irrigation systems. These measures not only preserve the environment but can also improve product quality and benefit local communities. The exploratory, deductive, and inductive analysis reveals the complexity of the transition process, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach that considers economic, environmental, and social aspects. Although there are challenges, such as choosing appropriate methods and effectively implementing new practices, motivation and the positive potential of aspects such as previous experience and health can inspire farmers on their path towards sustainable agriculture. It is essential to address limitations with a proactive approach and provide the necessary support to move towards a healthier and more environmentally friendly production model.
