Alternative development is an approach aimed at reducing the vulnerabilities that lead to involvement in illicit crop cultivation and ultimately eliminating such cultivation. Alternative development can break the vicious cycle of rising illicit drug production, weakening rule of law, decreasing growth of the licit economy, decreasing investment in licit sectors, strengthening organized crime and increasing violence by effectively promoting factors fostering a sustainable licit economy. 2, record 1, English, - alternative%20development

Le développement alternatif est une approche visant à réduire les vulnérabilités qui conduisent à se lancer dans les cultures illicites et à terme à éliminer ces cultures. Il peut rompre le cercle vicieux de l'augmentation de la production illicite de drogues, d'affaiblissement de l'état de droit, de ralentissement de l'économie licite, de diminution des investissements dans les secteurs licites et de développement de la criminalité organisée et de la violence en favorisant efficacement des facteurs propices à une économie licite durable. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9veloppement%20alternatif

Worldwide, most illicit crops are cultivated by smallholders. In many frontier regions, the elevated price of illicit crops offers economic promise for cultivators displaced from other (licit) smallholder activities; when smallholders are pushed onto poor quality land or have been otherwise criminalized, the most viable livelihood option (in some regions the only option) may be to cultivate relatively lucrative and hardy illicit crops that can grow quickly and in a wide range of conditions. 2, record 2, English, - illicit%20crop

La coca y la amapola son cultivos ilícitos que han hecho que se establezca un corredor comercial entre el Caquetá y el Huila. Entre los aspectos que identifican los cultivos de coca y amapola encontramos: Tener un mercado asegurado del producto; involucrar a toda la familia así sea en pequeñas cantidades; no generar riqueza, pero sí una estabilidad económica; generar un desarrollo estrictamente económico; carecer de presencia institucional del Estado; presentar un modelo de desarrollo acompañado de hechos y de actores violentos que controlan la economía ilícita, y que tiene un efecto de estancamiento sobre los procesos organizativos de la sociedad civil. 2, record 2, Spanish, - cultivo%20il%C3%ADcito

Les États-Unis étaient satisfaits de la Convention unique, qui élargissait le contrôle de la culture du pavot d'opium, du coca et du chanvre, même si ce contrôle était moins sévère que les mesures négociées par Anslinger dans le cadre du Protocole de l'opium de 1953. 2, record 3, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20des%20cultures%20illicites
