23. AMAZON VISION PROGRAM - JDI
At the 2009 Conference of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),
Colombia announced an ambitious goal to achieve zero net deforestation in the Colombian Amazon
region by 2020 and nationwide by 2030. In order to achieve this goal, the national government is
currently developing two comprehensive programs called "Amazon Vision“, “Joint Declaration of Intent”.
• Livestock is the most important use for land stripped of its forest covered in the
Amazon and nationwide (35-38´has), therefore, grasslands occupy approximately 70%
of said deforested land. Transforming this dominant way of life to sustainable practices,
is one of the most critical challenges for the Amazon Vision and JDI.
• The governments of the United Kingdom, Norway and Germany seek to support
Colombia in achieving its goal of zero net deforestation.
• New financial instruments have been identified among the strategies to contribute to
achieve Amazon Vision’s and JDI goals.

24. CHALLENGES
LIVESTOCK ACTIVITY IN FIGURES
• 37,4 million hectares in pastures under
livestock activity = 30% of the national
territory (DANE, 2017)
• 22,6 million of cattle. Load of approx. 0.6
heads per hectare (National Livestock
Fund, Fedegan, 2012)
• 550 thousand farms (approx.)
• 28% of rural employment (Fedegan 2016)
• 3.5% of the National GDP (Fedegan 2016)
MAIN CHALLENGES
• Inefficient land use
• 20 million hectares in conflict of use
(UPRA, 2014)
• 18.48% of the GHG emissions generated in
the country;
• 48.51% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from
the agricultural sector (Second National
Communication, 2010)
• Livestock as a speculative vehicle on land

25. CHALLENGE IN LAND USE
 High pressure towards deforestation as it is a colonization frontier
 Livestock as the main economic activity
 Few incentives for sustainable use of natural forest
 Lack of capital to invest in sustainable systems (agroforestry, silvopastoral
systems, etc.)
 Lack of formality in land tenure
 Lack of technical assistance for sustainable agricultural systems

26. ITPS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT
Objective
Leverage a nationwide strategy of gradual reconversion of pastures of low livestock
productivity in areas of high ecosystem value, towards sustainable forest landscapes with
efficient production systems.
Rediscount
Institution
FINAGRO (Second-tier, mixed economy credit entity of the national order linked to the Ministry of Agriculture and
Rural Development).
First Floor
Bank
Banco Agrario in Amazon Pilot. Can be implemented with other private banks in Colombia: Bancolombia,
Davivienda, others.
Potential
Market
Small Producers (less than USD$60K in capital). Potential in 10 year is 5%of total livestock area, about15.000
producers
Size
Pilot Amazon Vision: 100 small producers, 8.000 Ha, 2.400 Ha with conservation agreements, 2.400 Ha restored,
total cost USD$1.2 million.
Pilots Orinoquia and Antioquia:300 producers,15.000Ha,USD$3´.Scale up 5% area:1´75 million Ha, USD$300 million.
Zero
Deforestation
Commitment
Each producer can liberate pasture areas for restoration and receive an incentive of USD$170 per Ha, up to 25% of
the total amount of credit, payed to capital in two payments (year 1.5 and year 3). Restored areas are defined with
technical assistance according to landscape and farm planning. Monitoring system to design (IDEAM)
Land
Restoration
All beneficiaries require to sign a zero deforestation agreement before credit approval, which conditions the
benefits provided by the ITPS, monitored every year.

fertilizer, other supplies
Up to 7 years
1 year
Principal
Payments
Tailor made (according to financial planning with each producer), monthly payments.
Incentives, coming from Amazon Vision, conditioned to productive restoration and liberation of areas for
forest regeneration
• Principal’s Payment reduction: COP 500.000 (USD 150) per released Ha, up to 25% of total principal
• Interest Rate reduction: from DTF + 5,5% to DTF (about 6%)
Guarantee 100% by FAG (Agricultural Guarantee Fund – FAG serves to guarantee credits and microcredits under
FINAGRO’s conditions)
Geographical
scope
First Pilot project: Caquetá and Guaviare departments (Amazon). Scalable to 5% of area in 10 years
(Caribean, Central, Orinoquia): 1.75´ ha.

28. • Approval for pilot implementation in Amazon región (August, 2018).
• Scale up in Antioquia, Orinoquia and other priority regions: Fund raising and
implementation
• Livestock Sustainable Reconversion Program under formulation (CIAT):
Opportunity to scale up.
• Adapt to medium and large sized producers.
• Design of Agroforestry and Forestry: transformation of pasture areas into forests-
complementarity.
