Sustainability, Markets, and Nature Introducing the Rainforest Alliane

Founded in 1987, the Rainforest Alliance (RA) works to create a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities. Working with over 5000 companies, the organization offers a seal that certifies products and ingredients that are produced according to select social, economic, and environmental sustainability metrics. How does RA convene agricultural industry stakeholders to understand risks and develop landscape-wide systemic solutions? How do they work with local communities? Join us to discuss these questions, hear about cocoa farmers in the Colombian Amazon, and learn about two international RA programs. Based on 30 years of experience, RA’s Forest Allies program helps local communities to secure land rights, develop product lines, access markets, and more. At the other end of the supply chain, RA supports Landscale, an assessment tool that helps organizations to generate landscape-level insights to make decisions about sustainability at scale. Join to meet RA Corporate Partnerships Lead, Pamela den Hartog, and learn.
