en.Wedoany.com Reported - Alpina has launched the Agrósfera platform, which integrates technology and data analysis for farm decision-making to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of dairy production. Colombia's dairy industry accounts for 9.3% of the national food industry, with per capita annual milk consumption of approximately 148 liters, creating over 20,500 jobs and serving as a primary livelihood source in regions such as Antioquia, Boyacá, Cundinamarca, and Nariño.

Agrósfera enables ranchers to access key information on productivity, animal nutrition, land use, and sustainability, thereby identifying improvement opportunities, enhancing competitiveness, and reducing environmental impact.

Alpina is also promoting actions aimed at strengthening farms' resilience to climate change, partnering with Rainforest Alliance and The Nature Conservancy to promote practices such as multi-species pastures, organic fertilization, composting, vermiculture, and nature-based solutions.

The platform's launch accelerates a strategy that has already achieved historic indicators on partner farms. These producers have reached productivity levels 3.5 times the national average, yielding 15,600 liters per hectare annually, compared to the national average of 4,500 liters.

These ranchers now maintain the same output using only 71% of the dairy cows and 47% less land than in 2014, with an average carbon footprint of just 0.8 kg CO₂ equivalent per liter of milk.
