In recent decades, the search for natural resources has reconfigured the geopolitical map through new political-economic alliances. Regional studies identify the South American continent as the scene for a potential trade dispute between two poles: the emerging BRICS and the old industrialized countries. The Colombian region known as the highland plains is the epicenter of new economic investments by domestic and international stakeholders who have the intention of developing agribusiness projects, among which promote the biofuels production at the center of the climate change debate. This paper presents research results on the topic of the Territorial Vulnerability Index, bringing to light some of the knots encountered and that legitimize material transformations alongside discursive productions that shape and design the territory. Part of this paper was presented at the I Seminario Internacional Novas Territorialidades e Desenvolvimento Sustentavel, held in Brazil in 2011.
