Objective

Explore how traceability systems, certification and deforestation-free protocols can improve sustainable supply, especially for smallholders.

Context

Traceability is key to meeting international regulatory requirements (such as EUDR) and voluntary private-sector commitments. The project investigates viable models, with special attention to including smallholders and cooperatives while avoiding market exclusion.

Activities

• Mapping of traceability technologies for soybean and beef
• Case studies in Brazilian producing states
• Dialogue with cooperatives, packers and industry
• Recommendations for smallholder inclusion
