The sustainability project engaged over 4,000 smallholder farmers and 100 cooperatives to address the challenges posed by the European deforestation-free regulation (EUDR). It revealed a widening gap in information ownership between consuming nations and producing countries. Initiated in 2022, the project responded to farmers' misconceptions regarding EUDR compliance through training materials tailored to their needs. A team of nine specialists collaborated to share crucial information, enhance understanding, and support farmers in adapting to emerging trade conditions and sustainability practices.
The project revealed a widening gap between information ownership in consuming countries and the dependency of farmers in producing countries, affecting compliance and sustainability efforts.
Initial questions from farmers about EUDR compliance highlighted critical misconceptions about regulations and their impact on agricultural practices, prompting a significant sustainability project.
Creating EUDR training materials was a key component of the project, aimed at helping farmers understand the requirements and opportunities in terms relevant to their local context.
The sustainability project evolved from conversations with farmers into a collaborative effort involving nine specialists, focused on bridging information gaps among over 4,000 smallholder farmers.
