Necesidades de estandarización del sector agropecuario coherente con la Estrategia 2050 liderada por el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, el DNP y la cancillería considerando el cambio climático como un fenómeno complejo.

Abstract

The standardization of guidelines, methodologies and protocols is the path to standardization in the agricultural sector, enabling timely action to be taken in the face of the major challenges that climate change presents us with. Leading climate and standardization experts mentioned at the official COP27 side event that, "Standards are the way the world can move from commitment to action to achieve measurable impact" (Lhuillery, Caroline, ISO.org, December 2022, accessed November 2023). Climate change is a reality that is latent in the world and concrete actions must be generated in order to mitigate and control its devastating effects. E2050 is a strategy proposed to achieve carbon neutrality. Based on this strategy and taking into account that the agricultural sector is one of the largest contributors of GHGs, the needs for standardization of applicable processes and methodologies must be identified, taking into account their consistency with ISO principles. Through a bibliographic review, methodologies and strategies for the agricultural sector were identified, taking into account national participation criteria, prioritizing sectors between agriculture and livestock, in order to evaluate the existence of standards and mitigation strategies implemented in the sector, identifying gaps in the application of existing standards, research results of entities in the sector and application of methodologies evaluated at international level that can generate a positive impact on the sector.
