description This paper, as a tool for analysis, considered the capacity of the interaction that open systems have against the occurrence of disturbances so that they can continue to function with minimal losses of energy, called resilience, an emerging characteristic of agroecosystems. To establish a method to measure this characteristic, ten variables were evaluated, including seven cultural variables: level of schooling, land tenure type, saving capacity, social organizational identity, farm infrastructure, weed control and production system; and three ecosystem variables: water resource availability, phytosanitary management and Main Agroecological Structure (MAS) in typical citrus fruit agroecosystems. These were methodologically grouped into six recommended domains: groups of farms and citrus growers with similar ecosystem and cultural conditions that have been characterized and typified in a previous study. In each of these groups, three farm types were selected for a total of 18 production units (department of Meta, Colombia). To determine the difference between the variables, Chi-square tests were applied (using the Pearson and Fisher statistics). Network analysis was applied to determine the relationship between the variables. The resilience was not significantly correlated with level of schooling, farm infrastructure or MAS. The relationship between the resilience and cultural variables presented a high significance, whereas the ecosystem variables showed a low statistical significance.

En este artículo, como una herramienta de análisis se consideró la capacidad de interacción que tienen los sistemas abiertos frente a la ocurrencia de un disturbio, de tal manera que puedan seguir funcionando con mínimas pérdidas de energía e información, denominada resiliencia y es considerada como una característica emergente de los agroecosistemas. Con el objetivo de establecer un método para medir esta característica se evaluaron diez variables, siete culturales: nivel de escolaridad, tipo de tenencia de la tierra, capacidad de ahorro, pertenencia a alguna organización social, infraestructura de la finca, control de arvenses y sistema de producción; y tres variables ecosistémicas: disponibilidad del recurso hídrico, manejo fitosanitario y Estructura Agroecológica Principal (EAP) en agroecosistemas citrícolas tipificados. Estas variables fueron agrupadas metodológicamente en seis dominios de recomendación, es decir grupos de fincas y de citricultores con condiciones ecosistémicos y a la vez culturales similares, que en trabajo previo habían sido caracterizados y tipificados. En cada uno de estos grupos se seleccionaron tres fincas tipo para un total de 18 unidades productivas (Meta, Colombia). Para determinar diferencia entre las variables se aplicaron pruebas de Chi Cuadrado (empleando los estadísticos de Pearson y Fisher). Para determinar la relación entre las variables se aplicó análisis de redes, pudiéndose determinar que el nivel de escolaridad, infraestructura de la finca y EAP no presentaron relación de significancia con la resiliencia. La relación entre las variables culturales presentaron una alta significancia, mientras que las variables ecosistémicas evidenciaron baja significancia estadística con la resiliencia.
