Abstract: Regenerative livestock farming emerges as an alternative to conventional livestock production models that have led to environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity. In Colombia, especially in the department of Caquetá, traditional extensive livestock farming has contributed to deforestation and soil erosion. This research focuses on analyzing the regenerative livestock experience from the perspective of local actors, specifically a producer from the municipality of Florencia. Through a qualitative approach and the use of interviews and data analysis tools, producer perceptions and practices are explored in relation to the implementation of regenerative strategies on his farm. The results reveal that innovation, the adaptation of agroecological practices and the balance between production and conservation are fundamental for the success of this production model. However, widespread acceptance of these methods faces significant barriers, primarily due to resistance to change among traditional producers.
