Dear Steering Committee, Co-Chairs and Facilitators,
We are pleased to submit our submission, "Co-designing and scaling sustainable agricultural systems for biodiversity enhancement, climate change mitigation and peacebuilding in Colombia."
The initiative focused on designing and scaling sustainable agricultural interventions to reduce deforestation and promote peace in Colombia while enhancing biodiversity in production systems. Sustainable Land Use Systems (SLUS) were co-developed, incorporating practices at farm, landscape, and value chain levels. The project aimed to create sustainable rural livelihoods in post-conflict areas, combining research with stakeholder engagement to tailor interventions to smallholder producers and create enabling environments for scaling.
Kind regards,
Janelle Sylvester
