**The Opportunity**:
The purpose of the USAID/Colombia Sustainable Agriculture Activity (SAA) is to expand licit, profitable and climate-smart agri-business models for Colombia’s rural producers and value chain actors in conflict-affected regions with high prevalence of illicit crops, as a way to increase incomes, combat food insecurity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestered in plants and soils, disincentivize coca production, and contribute to integrated rural development to transform rural conflict zones.
The SAA will take a market systems development approach to address the continued need for inclusive rural development opportunities in the priority conflict-affected areas of 1) Catatumbo, 2) Bajo Cauca, Cordoba, Southern Bolivar, and 3) Caquetá. The strategy for implementation will focus on implementing three pillars, markets, productivity, and environmental sustainability.
