Geographical aspects[edit]

Environmental conflict[edit]
The Nasa indigenous community has been seriously affected by the monoculture of sugar cane, which has generated a considerable number of environmental liabilities and an ecological-distributive conflict, which have modified ancestral agro-ecological customs.[4] Many indigenous people in this region ceased to be farmers in order to lease their lands to the different sugar mills in the region.[citation needed]
