In Colombia, regional authorities are implementing various agricultural and environmental sustainability initiatives. In Suárez, the local government assisted in registering dozens of livestock properties with the Colombian Agricultural Institute to enhance sanitary oversight and traceability.

In the Cundinamarca region, efforts have expanded toward resource management and climate resilience. Programs include providing seeds and pasture-restoration inputs to support efficient livestock production. Additionally, authorities are addressing water scarcity exacerbated by the El Niño phenomenon through a rainwater harvesting program and the introduction of parametric insurance to provide rapid financial relief for small-scale producers during droughts.
