| Abstract (English): | From the perspective of environmental psychology, this study analyzes how peasant communities in the páramos of Boyacá (Colombia) navigate tensions among agricultural practices, conservation policies, and climate change. Using a qualitative interpretive approach, semi-structured interviews and participant observation were conducted with 40 peasants (60% men and 40% women). The analysis identified four dimensions: emotional and cognitive perceptions of the environment; the influence of climate on agroproductive decision-making, particularly in potato cultivation; tensions with environmental policies; and local adaptation strategies. Findings show that peasant practices integrate affective bonds, cultural meanings, and territorial relationships, shaping adaptive responses to the simultaneous pressures of climate change, conservation policies, and market dynamics. In addition, forms of resilience and resistance to institutional models emerge. Incorporating peasant knowledge, affective dimensions, and lived experiences into public policy is essential for strengthening socioecological sustainability and rural well-being in the Andes and Latin America.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Desde la psicología ambiental, se analiza cómo los campesinos de los páramos de Boyacá (Colombia) enfrentan tensiones entre sus prácticas agrícolas, las políticas de conservación y el cambio climático. Con un enfoque cualitativo interpretativo, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación participante con 40 campesinos (60 % hombres y 40 % mujeres). El análisis identificó cuatro dimensiones: percepciones emocionales y cognitivas del entorno; influencia del clima en decisiones agroproductivas, especialmente en el cultivo de papa; tensiones con políticas ambientales, y estrategias locales de adaptación. Los resultados evidencian que las prácticas campesinas articulan vínculos afectivos, sentidos culturales y relaciones territoriales, configurando respuestas adaptativas ante las presiones simultáneas del clima, las políticas de conservación y las dinámicas del mercado. Además, emergen formas de resiliencia y resistencia frente a modelos institucionales. Incorporar saberes, afectos y experiencias campesinas en las políticas públicas resulta fundamental para fortalecer la sostenibilidad socioecológica y el bienestar rural en los Andes y América Latina.
