| description | Small farmers participation in research processes associated with agricultural production systems has been a task difficult to achieve. For this reason, the purpose of this research was to link small cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) producers to the research processes in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Therefore, field tests were experimented in which a participatory research method was used through integrated production models. The methodology included, among others, an analysis of current land use, identification, and prioritization of technological constraints, selection of alternative solutions with which integrated production models were collectively built, and subsequently applied in the field and technically and economically evaluated. Based on the above methodology, effective participation and integration between farmers, local actors, and researchers was achieved, resulting in the selection of models that integrated local farmers knowledge with technologies from research processes to solve the main technical constraints that affect cassava production in the Caribbean region. It was concluded that this participatory research methodology could be an alternative to improve the levels of adoption, impact, and incorporation of technologies to the production systems associated with small farmers. |

La participación de los pequeños productores en procesos de investigación asociados a los sistemas productivos agrícolas ha sido difícil de lograr. Por eso, el objeto de la presente investigación fue lograr la vinculación de pequeños productores de yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) a procesos de investigación en la región Caribe de Colombia. Para esto, se implementaron ensayos de campo en los que se empleó un método de investigación participativa a través de modelos integrados de producción. La metodología utilizada incluyó, entre otros, un análisis del uso actual del suelo, la identificación y priorizaron de las limitantes tecnológicas, la selección de ofertas tecnológicas que permitieron la construcción colectiva de modelos integrados de producción, que fueron posteriormente aplicados en campo y evaluados técnica y económicamente. Con base en la anterior metodología se consiguió la participación efectiva y el intercambio de conocimientos entre agricultores, actores locales e investigadores, lo que dio como resultado la selección por preferencia de modelos productivos que integraron tecnologías del conocimiento de los productores con tecnologías provenientes de procesos de investigación para la solución de las principales limitantes tecnológicas que afectan la producción de yuca en la región Caribe. Se concluyó que esta metodología de investigación participativa podría ser una alternativa para mejorar los niveles de adopción, impacto e incorporación de las tecnologías a los sistemas productivos asociados a pequeños productores.
