As global leaders prepare for October's COP16 biodiversity conference in Colombia, one family-owned farm is rewriting the playbook on sustainable agriculture. Embracing Colombia's official COP16 slogan, 'Peace with Nature,' their eco-conscious cattle ranch could become a blueprint for tackling food insecurity and climate challenges.
🐄 With 60% of Colombia's agricultural land used for livestock, the farm's experiment in regenerative grazing – rotating cattle to preserve soil health – shows how traditional practices can meet modern sustainability goals. 'We want to prove cattle farming doesn't have to mean deforestation,' says lead researcher Michelle Begue.
The timing couldn't be more crucial: COP16 aims to finalize new global biodiversity targets, with food systems at center stage. As climate extremes threaten harvests worldwide, this Colombian initiative offers hope that solutions might come from unexpected places 🌱.
