What are ‘landscape or jurisdictional initiatives’?
Companies, governments and NGOs are recognizing that implementing commitments to responsible sourcing and production in commodity agriculture is complex and that working with individual producers in individual supply chains is not always effective.
Landscape or jurisdictional initiatives are emerging as ways of achieving various objectives – including responsible production of agricultural and forest commodities – at a larger scale.
