Colombia is highly affected by climate change, as it is increasingly vulnerable to flooding, landslides and water shortages, which impact agriculture, human health, economic activities, and critical infrastructure. In February 2020, the governor of Antioquia declared a state of climate emergency, with the emission of greenhouse gases and deforestation as the most urgent concerns. The Landscape Approach is becoming a driving paradigm in the international agriculture and environmental development sector. It is promoted by academics and practitioners alike to enhance climate change adaptive capacity and mitigation potential of agriculture in the tropic.
The project seeks to improve the livelihood and well-being of rural families in the selected areas by creating sustainable sourcing landscapes with deforestation-free and climate-friendly supply chains for present and future generations.
FiBL brings to the project its expertise in cocoa agroforestry systems and organic integral farm management practices.
