    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Mejía Castillo, José Leonardo; Álvares Mesa, Catalina
    This study focuses on the necessity for transformation within the Colombian agricultural ecosystem, encompassing financing, production, and commercialization. Within this context, digital social innovation emerges as a catalyst for addressing the deeply rooted challenges in the sector. The convergence of social innovation, seeking creative and efficient solutions to social problems, with digital technologies, enabling broad-scale connection and collaboration, presents a promising opportunity to enhance the resilience of agriculture against climate and inequality challenges. Aligned with this vision, the research advocates for a holistic approach to the agricultural issues in Colombia. Beyond fragmented solutions, it proposes a systematic and sustainable approach recognizing the transformative potential of digital social innovation. This approach not only aims to address immediate issues but also to foster productivity and competitiveness in the sector equitably and sustainably, thereby generating a positive impact on society as a whole. In its analysis, the thesis underscores the fundamental role played by digital technologies in creating an enabling environment for social innovation within Colombian agriculture. The connectivity and collaboration facilitated by these tools allow for the development of adaptive and context-specific solutions designed to address the specific needs of farmers and rural communities. Within this context, the research not only identifies current challenges but also proposes a conceptual framework and model for the implementation of digital social innovation in Colombian agriculture. It emphasizes the importance of strategic collaborations among various stakeholders, including governments, non-governmental organizations, businesses, and local communities. In summary, this thesis advocates for a comprehensive and proactive vision for the development of Colombian agriculture, with digital social innovation at its core. By recognizing the transformative potential of technology and collaboration, the aim is to build a resilient, dynamic agricultural ISD ecosystem in harmony with its social and environmental context.
