Resumen
This paper studies the relationship between the armed conflict, land dispossession, and agricultural activities in the Bajo Putumayo region, located south of the Putumayo Department. The most relevant findings were evaluated from correlations by Pearson's coefficient and linear regressions by ordinary least squares. In addition, there was accompaniment through the narrative for the events of the armed conflict, land dispossession and economic changes in the region. An analysis of the results indicates that the use of land by illicit crops has weakened the agrarian structure of traditional crops, with illicit activity gaining production margin. Besides, for the production of coca, land has been used that has been subject to the dispossession of peasants. Furthermore, extensive cattle ranching enters into a duality because, although grazing lands are lost due to armed activity, the participation of cattle ranching funds in the region was also evident. These factors, undoubtedly, have had a negative and unstable development in the region presenting an economic backwardness and uprooting processes of its inhabitants, as well as a conflict for the use of considerable land in the region between 2000 and 2017.
