VOICED : Salir de la ilegalidad de la coca en Colombia

The video discusses the Colombian government's plan to eradicate coca plantations in Pueblo Nuevo following the peace agreement with FARC. President Juan Manuel Santos symbolically replaced a coca plant with a banana to launch the initiative. The plan offers farmers a monthly subsidy and technical assistance to switch to legal crops. However, local farmers are skeptical due to the lack of alternative livelihoods. The video highlights the challenges of eradicating coca, which has been a major source of income for armed groups, and provides statistics on coca cultivation in Colombia.
