  • The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate if the cultivation of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) may be an effective alternative to replace Erythroxylum coca (Lam) from the ground; secondly, to design an approximation of a R+D+I program that could provide cognitive and methodological support of the processes of introduction, establishment and substitution in the framework of armed post-conflict in Catatumbo, Colombia. The methodology used consisted of a documentary research, resulting in phases or aspects to be considered for the program, which are: study and zoning of agro-climatic conditions in the region of Catatumbo; Evaluation and introduction of cultivars; Design and validation of the technological pattern of production, such as monoculture and polyculture; Post-harvest handling, Artisanal and Industrial processing; Exploration of medicinal, food and industrial applications; Marketing and national and international trade, and the economic, social, environmental and political aspects of the introduction and establishment of this agro-industrial chain in Catatumbo. It is concluded that planting Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), is an effective alternative to replace Erythroxylum coca (Lam) and the presented program can be a cognitive and methodological support to its introduction and sustainable settlement.
