The pathogen Fusarium oxysporum is the major limiting factor in the production of the cape gooseberry crop Physalis peruviana, due to the inexperience of growers to identify and manage it. The objective of this research was to identify the relationship between the chemical characteristics of the soil and the presence and absence of Fusarium oxysporum. Soil samples were collected from 100 cape gooseberry production units. This process was carried out in plots with healthy plants and plants affected by the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlations, principal components (PCA) and Machine Learning models were used to analyze the information associated with the chemical elements of the soil of cape gooseberry farms. The Decision Tree Classifier model showed the best predictive performance with Accuracy metrics of 0.58, Recall of 0.57, and F1 Score of 0.51...

The need for a sustainable and equitable agriculture is a requirement that increases its demand day by day, this is a challenge that undoubtedly must be faced from the local level and based on the importance of local producers and the impact that family farming can have on the growing challenge of achieving food security and reducing rural gaps. The information on the characterization of family farming in Colombia is scarce; therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the characteristics of family farming present in the fruit producers' associations ASPROFRUTAS and ASOCMA in the municipality of Arbeláez, Cundinamarca, Colombia. A review of documents with information associated with basic concepts of family farming was carried out, as well as the realization of these focus groups, where the participants were given surveys for their development.
