  • First Online:
Silvopastoral systems of Meso America and Northern South America

  • 112 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter analyzes the process of adoption of silvopastoral systems in Colombia from pilot farms where silvopastoral models were developed, to more than 4000 farms implemented in the project Mainstreaming Sustainable Cattle Ranching and the further developments based on the lessons learnt from this experience. This project introduced environmentally friendly cattle production on more than 100,000 ha, promoted the establishment of 38,390 has of silvopastoral systems (SPS), improved stocking rates and productivity in intervened farms, enhanced biodiversity and incorporated/protected 50 globally endangered plant species on the farms, and sequestered 1.56 million Mg of CO2eq. The main results and achievements of the process are highlighted as well as the technical, financial and knowledge barriers and challenges faced. It also analyzes the lessons learned and how they were used to design the NAMA of sustainable bovine livestock that aims to scale up silvopastoral systems and increase efficiency and sustainability of cattle farming in the country to increase dairy and beef production while reducing their impact on climate change and natural resources.
