<p>The main relevant aspects for the agricultural dynamic were identified in an area made up of three rural areas of the municipality of Guachetá, where there is an important production of metallurgical coal. Different techniques and instruments were used, such as survey, social cartography, focus groups, and perception. It was determined that in the area formed by the three regions, the agricultural dynamic and configuration have been influenced by the mining activity. This influence is mainly due to the pressure on the labor force and the economic dependence of households on extractive activity, resulting in the abandonment of agricultural activity. This research proposes as important the rescue and promotion of agriculture, as an alternative for food security and income generation of families in the area, by suggesting as a strategy an articulation and agro-mining synergy.</p>
