Future of the agricultural sector

The agricultural sector becomes fundamental in the course of current human
activity and the projective towards the future, where man through natural
resources is able to create, train and maintain their current economic systems.
Sustainable agricultural development seeks, from the environmental and
economic point of view, to create strategies where the life of the human being
is facilitated and maintained in the long term. From here, trade and new
treaties between countries are a great futuristic advantage that keeps green
development emphasized in greater importance on the economy and its
capitalist tendencies.
It is indisputable to think that the main tool of the sustainable development
agro is directed in the economy and the environment since together they have
a vital effect in the growth of the agricultural sector. However, when it comes
to highlighting the determining factor of this sustainable development, it is
essential to highlight the essence of environmental development in this
problem, since the entire existing sector is based on this same medium. In
effect, the environmental benefit focused on its general development is much
more important than the thought of economic formation in terms of benefits,
futuristic thoughts and basic acquisitions as raw materials.
Already entering the agricultural sector of Colombia according to Juan
Guillermo Zuluaga Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, highlights
the following results of agriculture in 2017. "It is important that the products
of the agricultural sector continue to grow year after year and looking for new
markets, as has happened in the last years. This result of exports shows that
there is an appetite for Colombian products abroad "
Seeing the passage of time in agriculture in Colombia also worth mentioning
the statement of the head of agricultural portfolio: "In the previous decade we
grew by 25,000 hectares per year, but in the last three years we grew by 1.15
million hectares. potential to produce, that was the Colombia Siembra so
successful program Now, the second stage of Colombia Siembra is Colombia
Vende, Transforma y Comercializa, which is designing all this type of
activities, such as El Agro Exporta, to continue selling "we observed that the
A country with a vision of the future has the capacity to continue growing and
strengthening, becoming a developed economy.
Speaking and also entering into the agricultural sector of world economies, the
United States is one of the most powerful and strong worldwide, because this
country has great variety of the sector, in the future I would think that this
country would still be power because thanks to its Developed economy will
always have benefits of its exports, its quality of life, health level and
education, will always be appetite for less developed countries difficulties
with poverty and low life expectancy. However, seeing it on the other side of
the scale, the US needs low-income countries since these are the ones that
obtain their agricultural sector those that buy and import their products.
Colombia being an underdeveloped economy, could sign the free trade
agreement with the United States, this makes reference to the fact that not
every economic power can subsist only (as products), not only the US but also
countries like Luxembourg, Norway among others, it also needs of less
developed economies with products that do not have.
In 2011, former agricultural minister Juan Camilo Restrepo Salazar said: "the
country is not prepared for the Free Trade Agreement with the United States,
we still need to specify that although some sectors will benefit others not."
Today thanks to the FTA Colombia
In Colombia it is important to highlight that the increase in food production
left as a consequence a great environmental damage due to the intensive use of
chemical fertilizers and pesticides, as well as the coordinator of the
Agroecological movement stressed that it is about "changing the paradigm and
not just to reorder the inputs to continue being the same system that
reproduces capital and not life.If we could stop supporting and encouraging
agribusiness, we would have resources to multiply agroecology ".
