Food Production Protection Areas for Venecia and Antioquia Municipalities

Áreas de Protección para la Producción de Alimentos (APPA) are zones designated for food production under Colombian law, constituting a higher-order territorial determinant. The dataset, referenced by Resolution 330 of October 6, 2025, from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, covers a total area of 3498.43 hectares. It was last updated on May 18, 2026, and originates from the national platform www.datos.gov.co.
