Building Bridges Between Commodity Roundtables and REDD+
Building Bridges Between Commodity Roundtables and REDD+
The success of REDD+ is limited by a lack of engagement of farmers. The success of the commodity roundtables is limited by the high costs of farm certification. This proposal is designed to overcome these limitations, linking a process that has funds but needs farmers (REDD+) with processes that have farmers but need funds (commodity roundtables) to achieve significant GHG emissions reductions.
