哥伦比亚博亚卡的帕拉莫斯被指定用于划定边界，以防止农业边界的扩张并保护有助于城市供水的地方性植物群。将使用各种各样的保护工具箱，包括建立保护区以重新野生化，以及确定为破坏环境的生计的“可持续”过渡。农业和畜牧业已被确定为过渡。尽管与畜牧业相关的负面话语，本文认为，小规模的农牧化有助于重新peasanitisation和农业生物多样性的保护方法提供了基础。农牧业通过强大的社会经济网络、相互联系的社区、团结经济和自然资源的自我管理促进再农业化。同时，农牧流动性在空间上将社交网络连接在大而不连通的空间上。流动性也是动态土地使用和牧场管理的基础，因为它可以防止过度放牧。这说明了如何利用具有复原力的社会经济网络和移动的生产战略促进农业生物多样性，而不是节约土地和其他固定的“绿色”经济。本文通过实证证明移动的和灵活的生产系统的重要性，对再农民化中的“自主权”做出了概念性的贡献。它还在应用空间透镜方面做出了新的方法论贡献，进一步揭示了在páramos上的运动如何促进自治和重新农民化。这些主题的探讨使用的访谈数据从53个半结构化的访谈与关键利益攸关方和小规模的农牧民从整个帕拉莫斯和实地观察。论文最后建议利用农牧知识，增强农业生物多样性，以采取更具社会生态公正的方式来进行帕拉莫的农业和保护。
The páramos of Boyacá in Colombia are earmarked for delimitation to prevent the expansion of the agricultural frontier and protect endemic flora that contribute to water provision for cities. A varied conservation toolbox will be used, including the creation of protected areas for re-wilding and the ‘sustainable’ transitioning of livelihoods identified as environmentally destructive. Agriculture and cattle livestock farming has been identified for transitioning. Despite the negative discourse related to livestock holding, this paper argues that small-scale agropastoralism contributes to re-peasantisation and provides the foundations for an agrobiodiverse conservation approach. Agropastoralism facilitates re-peasantisation through strong socio-economic networks, interconnected communities, the solidarity economy, and self-management of natural resources. Whilst, agropastoral mobility spatially binds social networks across large and disconnected spaces. Mobility is also fundamental to dynamic land access and pasture management, as it prevents over-grazing. This exemplifies how resilient socio-economic networks and mobile production strategies could be harnessed for agrobiodiversity, instead of land sparing and other sedentary ‘green’ economies. This paper makes conceptual contributions to ‘autonomy’ in re-peasantisation by empirically demonstrating the importance of mobile and flexible systems of production. It also makes a novel methodological contribution in applying a spatial lens that further unpacks how movement across the páramos facilitates autonomy and re-peasantisation. These themes are explored using interview data from 53 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and small-scale agropastoralists from across the páramos and field observation. The paper concludes by recommending a harnessing of agropastoral knowledge, to potentiate agrobiodiversity, for a more socio-ecologically just approach to farming and conservation in the páramos.
