Agricultural technology has significantly increased production by relying on monocultures. Conventional practices are reaching the limits of unsustainable agriculture, characterized by high pollution rates, natural resource degradation, overuse of agrochemicals, materials and energy; all towards low or no profitability. Therefore the production process has to be reoriented by implementing an agroecological approach more closely linked to the environment and more socially sensitive, and which promotes the design of sustainable agroecosystems with an integrative vision. The aim of this paper is show the results of research conducted between 1994 and 2012, concerning the systematics of citrus production under tropical conditions, specifically in the foothills of Meta Department in Colombia. As a result of this review, missing elements were identified which serve as a basis future research projects towards the establishment and development of sustainable and agroecological units.
