Financing a low-emission food system in Colombia: A Q&A with our experts

In Colombia, deforestation, largely driven by the agriculture, forestry and other land use sector accounts for 56 percent of total emissions. As the nation strives to meet its ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 51 percent by 2030, transforming food production systems will be essential.

However, achieving this transformation demands substantial investments, underscoring the need for effective strategies and resources to address climate change at scale. In this Q&A, Ma. Eliza J. Villarino, and Carlos Andrés Borda, researchers at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, present critical topics being addressed by the Low-Emissions Landscapes team of the Multifunctional Landscapes lever.
