A recent review synthesizes this growing body of evidence, assessing not only the environmental and economic benefits of silvopastoral systems (SPS) in Colombia, but also the financial, policy, and market conditions needed to scale them. Drawing on more than 180 studies, the article positions SPS as a viable pathway toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and climate-resilient cattle sector in the tropics. So why haven’t these systems gone to scale? And what can Colombia’s experience teach the rest of the tropics about building sustainable cattle systems that work for farmers, investors, and the climate?
