Project Description

The project supports global market-transformation efforts and the adoption of better management practices related to biodiversity in four target commodity sectors: palm oil, soybeans, sugarcane, and cocoa. The objectives are 1) a strong enabling environment to support cost-effective biodiversity preservation at all levels of the value chain; 2) biodiversity-friendly production practices and on-farm processing; 3) increased mainstream demand for commodities produced using biodiversity-friendly techniques; and 4) recognition by financial institutions of the economic benefits of such production methods and practices.
