Cattle ranching in Colombia has been at the heart of the country’s agricultural economy for centuries, contributing significantly to rural livelihoods and national development. However, the sector has also played a profound role in the country’s armed conflict, where the dynamics of land ownership, power and violence are deeply intertwined.
A recent study titled Land, cows, and bullets: An untold history of cattle ranching during the armed conflict in Colombia (1980-2010), dives into this complex history, exploring how the industry and the conflict have been inseparably connected.
