dcterms.abstractCattle farming is a cornerstone of Colombia’s agricultural economy, but its environmental impact—especially in terms of deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions—has raised concerns. In response to these challenges, the Colombian government, through Resolution 000126 of 2022, launched the Public Policy Guidelines for Sustainable Cattle 2022-2050 (Lineamientos de Política para la Ganadería Bovina Sostenible, LPGBS), aiming to shift the sector toward more sustainable practices. However, the road to implementing this policy is far from smooth.en
