Abstract
Traceability and transparency in supply chains are necessary to understand the impact of commodities on forests, and to support the design, implementation, monitoring of effective solutions to address forest loss, and help make agricultural production and food systems more sustainable. This report discusses success factors and enabling conditions to improve resource use and reduce forest loss, providing an updated evidence base to inform and advance collaborative discussions and actions on traceability and transparency.
