ABSTRACT
The Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia (CCLC) is an exceptional example of a living, continuous and productive agricultural landscape. There is the legal framework related to the protection of the site. This includes a regulatory, administrative and legal body that has provisions of a general nature in the cultural, natural and coffee fields as well as more specific ones, such as land use management and the instruments for denomination of origin of the Coffee of Colombia. The Management Plan is structured around values that contribute to the Outstanding Universal Value, with the goals, strategies and main threats defined for each of them. As a general rule, sustainability challenges are mainly addressed through the management system and often, as in Colombia's CCLC, using the cultural landscape model. Finally, with regard to risk-related changes of agricultural land use in the CCLC, the conservation of agriculture is supported as part of a national food security policy linked to the wide-ranging CONPES policy.
