Implementation of sustainable agroforestry systems in coffee farms for agricultural frontier closure
This initiative seeks to strengthen sustainable agroforestry productive systems in coffee farms that contribute to the closure of the agricultural frontier for deforestation reduction and income generation for small rural producers. The project includes the establishment of approximately 2,000 hectares of agroforestry systems through planting 500,000 forest trees, strengthening 600 hectares of existing coffee plantations, and strengthening the productive process for environmental impact reduction. A gender-focused agroforestry extension program will be implemented including technical training, commercial plans and voluntary zero deforestation agreements. The initiative will benefit small coffee producers in the departments of Cesar, Magdalena, Santander and Norte de Santander, prioritizing vulnerable populations, indigenous, Afro-Colombian and peasant communities with a minimum of 25% women participation.
