The initiatives of the dairy sector in Colombia have strengthened the increase in herd production levels, placing the region of the Sabana de Cundinamarca within the four dairy basins of the country; performance favored by the characteristics of its relief and climate. This situation is the opposite of the situation faced by the activity because it is considered one of the practices that cause the most urgent environmental problems in the world, global warming, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, atmospheric contamination and water pollution. The purpose of this work was to implement the use of Good Sustainable Practices for a small and medium scale dairy cattle ranch that allows addressing the environmental component of the activity, contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Based on the diagnosis of the situation and its environmental effects, the strategic axes were defined for the design of a Sustainable Plan for small and medium-scale dairy farming, as a result of a SWOT analysis, which determined the activities or strategies to be implemented to achieve the GSPB in the activity.
