Dear Jacky,
I have been away of Colombia for almost 6 years but almost every year
when I go to my country I try to find some time to go and visit them.
They have many components in their farming system:
Sugar cane without burning
Cattle, the bread used is "Lucerna"
Pigs (I think in "El Hatico", not sure about Lucerna)
Biodigester
Silvopastoril Systems (many kinds of forage trees)
Milk processing
Biological products (sugar sirup)

I am sure that I am missing many things but those two farms are very good
models. For more detail I will try to get their e-mail addresses as it will
be good to hear their experience.
Best regards,
Lylian
