What are the real-world social-ecological outcomes of silvopasture transformation in Colombia? How can this evidence be utilized to inform farm planning tools and policy targets to benefit nature, climate, and human wellbeing?
Team Status:
NEW
Team Critical Challenge:
- Synthesize a multidimensional dataset from nearly 4,000 farms in Colombia, coupled with spatial modeling to explore real-world drivers of on-farm adoption, evaluate social-ecological impacts, and predict the benefits of silvopasture implementation at landscape scales
- Based on the science and in collaboration with end-users, co-develop guidance to inform sustainable cattle ranching and climate policies, environmental certification standards, and a farm planning tool to help scale up silvopasture adoption in Colombia and beyond
