Sustainable Agrifood Colombia Project: Climate Change Adaptation

Colombia Agroalimentaria Sostenible is an initiative of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) focused on reducing the vulnerability of agricultural production to climate threats in order to minimize their impact on the competitiveness of Colombia's agricultural sector and to ensure an adequate and stable availability of quality food by strengthening climate risk management, while also reducing the effects of greenhouse gases and emissions from agricultural production. The project seeks to shift the current paradigm of input-intensive agricultural production with limited technology adoption, aiming to reduce crop vulnerability to droughts, floods, and other climate stressors.
