Description
Flagship project 3 facilitates innovations in public policy, business models, private investments and finance. Its aim is to stimulate the sustainable supply of timber from natural and planted forests, enhance the sustainable production of high-value tree crops (oil palm, rubber, cocoa, coffee and coconut) and reduce the impacts of agricultural expansion (soybean and beef production) in forests. It does this by promoting the uptake of more intensive and integrated agricultural production and forest management systems that comply with higher social and environmental standards. In turn, this supports forest conservation and improve the integration of smallholder and small and medium-sized enterprises.
