| description | The program “FINCA Fund, We Believe in the Countryside” is an initiative that seeks to promote agriculture and food security in rural communities in Colombia. In order to analyze the food security of the inhabitants of the village of Cucaita of Briceño, Boyacá, in this work, a methodology with a mixed approach was used to document the policies on food security and survey 73 beneficiary families of the program. A sociodemographic characterization and the productive evaluation and estimation of food security through the standardized Lorenzana questionnaire were carried out. National and departmental programs were found to be varied in supporting the quality of life of rural inhabitants, but with greater experience in the school feeding program (PAE, by its acronym in Spanish). The prevalence of the low category was demonstrated ¾in terms of income, educational level, ownership and size of the real estate¾, and the predominance of “pancoger” crops (crops that satisfy part of the nutritional needs of a given population) and the use of inputs from the program, that favored the self-consumption of products, leveraging food security, that was not found to be reduced. |

El programa “Fondo FINCA, Creemos en el Campo” es una iniciativa que busca promover la agricultura y la seguridad alimentaria en comunidades rurales de Colombia. Con el propósito de analizar la seguridad alimentaria de los habitantes de la vereda Cucaita de Briceño, Boyacá, en este trabajo se utilizó una metodología con enfoque mixto para documentar las políticas sobre seguridad alimentaria y encuestar a 73 familias beneficiarias del programa. Se realizó una caracterización sociodemográfica y la evaluación y estimación productiva de la seguridad alimentaria a través del cuestionario estandarizado Lorenzana. Se encontraron variados programas nacionales y departamentales de apoyo a la calidad de vida de los habitantes rurales, pero con más experiencia en el Programa de Alimentación Escolar (PAE). Se demostró la prevalencia de la categoría bajo ¾en cuanto a ingresos, nivel educativo, tenencia y tamaño del predio¾ y el predominio de cultivos de pancoger, así como el uso de insumos provenientes del programa “Fondo FINCA”, que favorecieron el autoconsumo de productos y fomentaron la seguridad alimentaria, la cual no se encontró reducida.
