Our focus:
Smallholder Production systems and their supply chains, capacity building and action research as well as supporting accountability.
Our Partners:
We work with governments, the private sector, and engage in local and international collaboration within our mission, from practice to policy.
Globally we work with groups such as accreditation framework initiative, global platform for sustainable natural rubber and roundtable for sustainable palm oil to develop and implement standards, strategies and plans for effective operations in the production systems and supply chains of deforestation and natural ecosystem and human rights risk commodities.
On the local level, we work with private industries, smallholder farmers, forest fringed communities, community resource management areas (CREMAs) local government agencies and colleague civil society organisations (CSO).
