The paper scrutinizes Colombian sanitary regulation through a decolonial lens, highlighting its role in marginalizing alternative production methods. Drawing on empirical experience and qualitative analysis, the author unveils the colonialist underpinnings of these regulations, which prioritize industrial norms and stigmatize traditional practices as inferior. By exploring international influences and exemplifying exclusionary biases, the paper advocates for reform to foster inclusivity, equity, and sustainability in the food production sector.
