The project is aligned with the National Development Plan of the current national government with respect to policies, strategies and actions directed at the decarbonization of the country through the National Programme for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG); renewable energies; sustainable cattle production aligned with the NAMA cattle programme and organic production systems.

Under GEF7, a landscape level Strategic Project will aim to promote the transformation of these areas into sustainable and high resilience farms through the application of agro-ecological principles and practices such as live fences, agroforestry and silvopastoral systems, integrated crop-livestock systems, improved grazing and pasture management, fruit trees in agroforestry systems and mixed cropping amongst others. These practices will be supervised by agents from the Ministry of Agriculture and SINAC and training provided, through agreements reached with the Direction of Extension of MAG. The Project will also seek to pilot an innovative financial mechanism, namely, a revolving fund financed through leveraging a commission on the sale of cattle at the Puriscal cattle auction managed by the Puriscal Producers? Union (UPAP) and accessible to cattle farmers for investment in the above-mentioned sustainable production practices. This project will entail the coordination, support and alignment of several key stakeholders: cattle producers; CADETI, UPAP, the Local Committee of the Biological Corridor, MAG, SINAC, CORFOGA (National Cattle Corporation), GIZ, INDER, amongst others.
