5. Taking deforestation out of commodity supply chains (2/2) Program goal: reduce the global impacts of agriculture commodities on deforestation, climate change and biodiversity by meeting the growing supply and demand of commodities through means that do not lead to deforestation Adaptive management and learning Support to production Generating responsible demand Enabling transactions

9. Program objective: Support countries in target geographies to integrate priorities to safeguard and maintain ecosystem services into investments improving smallholder agriculture and food value chains Regional capacity building and knowledge services Institutional frameworks Scaling up integrated approaches Monitoring and assessment Fostering sustainability and resilience for food security (2/2) Country child projects
