Forest Data Partnership: The Traceability and Transparency Tipping Point: Transforming Agricultural Supply Chains

The rapidly evolving landscape may signal a tipping point for fuller traceability and transparency in supply chains for agricultural and forest commodities. They are both critical to monitoring where forest loss is happening and to support decision-making by supply chain actors.

new WRI report, supported by the Forest Data Partnership, shows that despite the rapid progress seen to date in developing traceability and transparency solutions, key challenges and data gaps remain. It also examines what is needed to ensure that initiatives, tools, and policies like the European Union’s deforestation regulation, are set up for success.

Join us for a webinar on November 6 where we will unpack findings from the report, explore priority action areas for closing key gaps, and showcase collaborative approaches to advancing traceability and transparency.

Speakers:

  • Presenter: Emily Fripp, Managing Director, Efeca
  • Keynote speaker: Roselyn Fosuah Adjei, Director, Climate Change, Forestry Commission of Ghana

Panelists:

  • Moderator: Till Neeff, Consultant, FAO
  • Brad Clark, Joint Head of Sustainable Commodities, U.K. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
  • Toby Gardner, Director, Trase
  • Juan Pablo Solís Víquez, Senior Advisor Climate and the Environment, Fairtrade International
  • Martin Huxtable, Global Sustaining Sourcing Director, Unilever
  • Additional speakers to be confirmed

A joint initiative led by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Forest Data Partnership is supported by USAID and the US State Department. Other partners include NASA-SERVIR, Google and Unilever.
