The current edition of the Bulletin on the Distribution of Rural Land in Colombia analyzes the data and statistical information for the cadastral year 2019, continuing the series of bulletins that began with the publication of the methodological book titled "Analysis of Rural Property Distribution in Colombia: Methodology and Results 2014." Subsequent analyses were conducted for the years 2015 to 2018.

Similar to the previous editions, this edition of the Bulletin on Rural Land Distribution in Colombia provides data and information for stakeholders interested in this topic (national and territorial entities, planners, academia, among others) to generate scientific and technical knowledge and contribute to public and private decision-making.

The fundamental purpose of this publication is to contribute to the knowledge of behavior and structure of distribution of property over rural land in Colombia, as a fundamental tool to advance in urgent and complex challenges that the country has in relation to this issue, and aid to "social planning of rural land ownership, defining criteria and creating instruments required for this purpose", now tasked to UPRA.

This document, a synthesis of the consultancy work carried out by UPRA in 2015 on rural urban conflicts and their incidence in the formulation of national policies for planning rural lands, seeks to identify some conflicts on the use of rural land in order to develop recommendations for its resolution, based on the diagnosis identified in the Mission of Cities of the National Planning Department (document CONPES 3819 of 2004) and the "Bases for a policy of land management for agricultural uses" (Gestua) formulated by UPRA (Massiris, 2015).
