Full project name: Carbono Rural

Location: Colombia

Project Partner:

Impact on region/communities:

A highly scalable Agricultural Land Management (ALM) program across farmlands in Cordoba, Magdalena Medio and the Andean-Amazonian Piedmont region in Colombia.

The project will increase soil and biomass carbon sequestration through the implementation of silvopastoral systems that integrate trees and livestock production, in a way that supports ecosystem health, biodiversity, farm profitability, and resilience.

Carbon standard/verification: Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)

Size/scale: 300,000 hectares of farmland

CO2e to be removed: 9,200,000 (tCO2e total)

Timescale: 30 years

SDGs:
