  1. Colombia: TOWARDS a climate smart agricultural sectorLow Carbon Development Strategy forFruit Crops and silvopastoral systems Andy Jarvis

  2. Agreement MADR-CIAT: Climate and agriculture sector Objetives • Test and validate technological adaptation options • Support agriculture sector in adapting to climate events, including agro-climate risk management, through evaluation of crop models. • Support the closing of the production gaps by applying Specific-site agriculture techniques • Evaluate agro-environmentally production systems and potential environmental services payment schemes in order to incentive sustainable production systems.

  3. A climate smart sector Adapted technologies + Climate-specific management + Seasonal agroclimatic forecasts + Efficient resource use + Enabling environment NAPs and NAMAs Adapted technologies + Climate-specific management + Seasonal agroclimaticforecasts + Efficient resource use Adapted technologies + Climate-specific management + Seasonal agroclimatic forecasts Climate resilience Adapted technologies + Climate-specific management Adapted technologies Baseline Climate smartness

  4. LEDS Colombia (MADS, DNP, MADR, IDEAM) is the main national framework in which the mitigation of climate change encounters agriculture Expected outcomes PROBLEM MADR-CIAT Agricultural participation in total annual emission More efficient land use More efficient cattle system More area available for agriculture and natural vegetation Alternatives: Improve pasture, silvopastoral systems and fruit crops NAMAS Ecosystem services payment schemes

  5. Alternatives detected by LEDS Colombia • Agricultural sector with real interest in mitigation, and large opportunities • Primary entry point through land-use – an actual case of a land sparing national policy! Both government and producer organizations aligned in strategy: • Livestock from 40 mHa to 30 mHa • Croplands to increase by 3 mHa • Together with MinAgriculture we are looking currently at 3 NAMA strategies: • Reconversion of degraded pastures into high carbon, high value farming (fruits) • Pasture intensification to increase emissions efficiency over large areas of unproductive pastures • Intensive silvopastoral systems in high potential areas to boost productivity and generate huge environmental benefits

  6. Pastures in Colombia 30.000.000 ha in pastures 8.000.000 ha in fallow Fuente: IGAC

  7. Pastures withproblemsassociatedwiththeircurrent use 16.000.000 ha in pastures Fuente: IGAC

  9. Area with avocado feasibility 2.462.000 ha Fuente: CIAT & IGAC

  10. Area with fruit feasibility Avocado, mango and citric 7.874.000 ha Fuente: CIAT & IGAC

  11. Municipalities with identified potential Together with supply chain actors and producer organisations municipalities with potential for expanding cultivated area have been identified.

  12. Carbon sequestration potential with 100.000 degree days The sequestration in a year would be in average the 3.8% of the actual year emission of the sector.

  18. Key Messages • Plenty of opportunity in Colombia for climate smart agriculture win-wins • Institutional and political will to invest in mitigation activities • Potentially quite large carbon benefits, but also profitable – primary incentive is to increase productivity, with mitigation co-benefits • Carbon markets could potentially bolster uptake, especially with regard to overcoming upfront investment costs which are an identified barrier

  19. Final Considerations “Tenemos 20 millones de hectáreas dedicadas a la ganadería y 5, a la agricultura; eso debe ser al revés. Impulsar la agricultura con productos que tengan futuro y el resto de la tierra dedicarla a la ganadería. Pero no podemos seguir teniendo un novillo por hectárea. Eso es lo que debe ocurrir.” A. Iragorri MADR minister personal interview for El Tiempo 1st of Septiembre 2014)
