Landscape Approaches: strengthening partnership and collaboration to mitigate risk and ensure long-term sustainability.

Landscape approaches have gained prominence in the search for solutions to reconcile conservation and development tradeoffs. We saw how partnership and collaboration can facilitate the move towards sustainable agricultural production at a landscape scale. Supply chains, markets and finance are integral components of agricultural management, so their role in supporting (or benefiting from) integrated approaches to natural resource use is critical.

This interactive session aims to deliberate ways forward fostering the integrated solutions that maximise value and minimise conflict for multiple stakeholders.

Speakers:

• Fitrian Ardiansyah – Country Director, Indonesia, IDH

Facilitator: Joost Gorter, New Foresight

Production to Consumption: Mapping the Landscape of Potential Environmental and Human Rights Violations Along the Supply Chain
