About this project
Description
As a key part of the Commodities Integrated Approach Pilot (IAP), the "Reducing Deforestation from Commodity Production Project" seeks to turn the sustainable production of key commodities from niche and specialized operations to the norm in each commodity sector. The Program's overall objective is to reduce the global impacts of agriculture commodities on GHG emissions and biodiversity by meeting the growing demand of palm oil, soy and beef through supply that does not lead to deforestation and related GHG emissions. Specifically, the production project will encourage sustainable practices for oil palm and beef production while conserving forests and safeguarding the rights of smallholder farmers and forest-dependent communities.
Objectives
Encourage sustainable practices for oil palm and beef production while conserving forests and safeguarding the rights of smallholder farmers and forest-dependent communities.
