Contesto |
Increasing population goes along with increasing consumption, energy use, finite arable land, scarce raw materials and high agricultural commodity prices, which all together have an adverse impact on environment and people. Over the last years, these global developments gave the impulse for public-private partnerships in order to address the challenges jointly. The mission of IDH is to play a role as a neutral convener and to bring different actors towards effective collaboration. IDH drives public-private partnerships, contributing to realise inclusive growth in single commodity sectors and broad sourcing areas. |
Obiettivi |
The overarching goal of the proposed program is to drive systemic scaling of sustainability in agricultural commodity sectors in order to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and workers and to mitigate & adapt to climate change. This goal shall be achieved through contributing to the program’s three outcome areas of improved sector governance, better business practices, and improved field level adoption of sustainable practices. To secure effective structural change, public and private power needs to be aligned through strengthened sector and landscape governance. Business practices of financial institutions, retailers, brands, traders and producers need to change in terms of sustainable sourcing, investments, monitoring, and service offering to farmers. Only when these systemic changes are achieved, improved field-level sustainability can be realized, translating into scalable and lasting impact on the SDGs. |
