After World War II there was several investigations realized in developed countries that later on were implemented in underdeveloped countries, taking the industrialized countries as models for the so-called "Third world". This led to the introduction of knowledge, skills, technology, organization, institutions, entrepreneurial attitudes and innovative spirit in developing countries to enact the same development as the industrialized countries, in order to maximize rural development.

In the 50's and 60's the introduction of new technologies resulted in a green revolution that was just the beginning of monoculture, technically advanced instruments and the inclusion of agrochemicals to maximize use of the land. It should be noted that each of these processes after being introduced in countries like Colombia have been the beginning of some environmental issues regarding land use. As a result of these processes it becomes loss of vegetation, erosion, decreased efficiency of the soil by his labor and finally the water level pollution and health that can generate some pesticides and fungicides that are used on crops.

Due to the expansive growth of the production and trade of chemicals in the last thirty years, generated a concern about the risks that could cause dangerous chemicals and pesticides used on crops in the health of people and goods and services provided by ecosystems. The countries most affected are those who are developing because they lack adequate infrastructure for monitoring the import and use of these chemicals. The Rotterdam Convention which is linked Colombia talks about the use of these chemicals, handling, export and Importation, to avoid health and environmental problems that can be generated by that products, despite this a lot of these products are used without the guide of environmental authorities of Colombia, which is causing the problem remains critical.

In conclusion we can analyze that the introduction of technology to developing countries is not properly good and before introducing a model like this is necessary to analyze the consequences that it could have in countries with other environmental, social and economic conditions.
