This proposes four large zones for the implementation of Sustainable Livestock pilots, carrying out activities in cooperation with various institutional actors and 80 livestock-raising families in an intervention area of 1.103 hectares in San Onofre (Sucre) in the humid Caribbean region; Dibulla (La Guajira) in the dry Caribbean region; El Carmen de Chucurí (Santander) in the Piedemonte del Magdalena Medio region and in Tame (Arauca) in the Piedemonte of Orinoco region. Use of secondary information for the download of spatial data on topics related to livestock suitability at the national level. This map was provided by UPRA and allowed establishing optimal and non-optimal zones for livestock production in the selected municipalities.
