Field story · Colombia
A dated record of a first planting in San Rafael: 250 vetiver slips planted on April 2, 2026. VSF is now concentrating its current Colombia work through Vetiver Colombia.
Colombia’s mountain communities live with erosion, slope instability, and pressure on water and farmland. VSF works with what local teams can plant, maintain, and replicate — not what is easiest to claim.
On April 2, 2026, VSF and local partners planted 250 vetiver slips in the El Juego community in San Rafael, Antioquia. This is a historical record of the first planted site in VSF in Colombia, not a claim of ongoing activity.
The San Rafael pilot is a dated record. VSF is now concentrating its current Colombia work through Vetiver Colombia and will publish specific sites, activities, and results when documented and approved for public use.
