Summary

Café Nasa, cultivated by the indigenous Nasa community in Colombia's Tierradentro region, embodies complex social and environmental relationships. This study reveals how producers creatively organize cultivation, processing, and commercialization to sustain community life amid interethnic contexts. Unlike conventional coffee production, Café Nasa thrives on relational practices—blending traditional knowledge with heterogeneous technologies—to ensure traceability, quality, and fair market recognition. The research highlights the Nasa people's historical resilience in social cohesion and territorial defense, demonstrating how their agricultural strategies adapt to tropical geographies while preserving cultural identity. Etnographic methods uncover a dynamic interplay between people, techniques, and environments, illustrating how Café Nasa becomes both an economic product and a symbol of indigenous innovation.
