Las cadenas de suministro también se fortalecen cuando las comunidades encuentran nuevas oportunidades para crecer.   En la región palmicultora de Chiapas, un grupo de familias ha estado fortaleciendo sus capacidades para cultivar hongo seta (Pleurotus ostreatus), utilizando como sustrato la inflorescencia de la palma de aceite, un recurso ya disponible en la zona. Lo que comenzó como una capacitación para el autoconsumo ha evolucionado hacia una nueva etapa. Hoy, las y los participantes cuentan con mayor confianza en el proceso productivo, trabajan de forma más organizada y se preparan para una próxima siembra con fines comerciales.   Más allá del cultivo, esta iniciativa muestra cómo el fortalecimiento de capacidades puede abrir nuevas oportunidades económicas, fortalecer la resiliencia de las comunidades y contribuir a cadenas de suministro más sostenibles.   👉 En Proforest trabajamos para conectar las cadenas de suministro con los paisajes productivos, impulsando soluciones que beneficien a las comunidades, la naturaleza y el clima.

Last week, Proforest and the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) launched the first webinar in a series exploring how investors can better understand and address deforestation-related risks across key commodities. Our first session focused on soy - a commodity that underpins global food systems and supply chains, but is also one of the leading drivers of land-use change. Some key takeaways: 🌳 Soy is the third-largest agricultural driver of deforestation globally. However, it's important to recognise that more than 90% of global soy production is already deforestation-and conversion-free (DCF). The challenge lies in reliably demonstrating and assuring that status across highly complex supply chains. 🐄 Supply chain complexity matters - Soy often passes through multiple intermediaries and is frequently embedded in animal feed, making it difficult to trace back to origin and assess exposure to deforestation and conversion risks. 🤝 The sector has made significant progress - many companies have adopted DCF commitments, improved traceability and monitoring systems, strengthened compliance processes, and collaborated across supply chains to support DCF production in priority sourcing regions. ✅ Challenges remain, but practical pathways are emerging - Low visibility of production origins and embedded soy continue to create risk. However, companies are increasingly using improved risk assessment approaches and developing targeted action plans to increase visibility, strengthen supply chain engagement, and support risk mitigation on the ground. 🪙 For investors, understanding these dynamics is critical. While risks remain, the progress made by the soy sector demonstrates that greater transparency, collaboration and targeted action can help drive more sustainable production and reduce exposure to deforestation-related risks. Thanks to everyone who joined and we look forward to continuing the conversation throughout the webinar series. #Deforestation #SustainableFinance #ResponsibleInvestment #Soy #Nature #Biodiversity #ESG #SupplyChains #IIGCC

A Proforest e WWF-Brasil convidam você para uma sessão dedicada a explorar o potencial do insetting como mecanismo de descarbonização no setor de Florestas, Uso da Terra e Agricultura (FLAG). 📅 03 de agosto | 🕔 17h às 18h | 📍 Bioma Food Hub SPCW Reduzir emissões de Escopo 3 no setor FLAG depende, em grande parte, da atuação de produtores do Sul Global. O insetting surge como um caminho concreto para direcionar financiamento climático até essas cadeias conectando metas corporativas, metas nacionais e mobilização de recursos privados em campo. Contaremos com a participação da CJ Selecta, Nestlé, IDH, Conselho Empresarial Brasileiro para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (Cebds) e Terion. O que você vai encontrar na sessão: ✅ O que é insetting e por que importa para o setor FLAG brasileiro ✅ Experiência de empresas na agenda de descarbonização ✅ Percepções práticas sobre o que o Brasil já oferece, e o que ainda falta construir Se você atua com descarbonização, cadeias agropecuárias ou financiamento climático, venha dialogar conosco. 👉Link para inscrição: https://luma.com/sg4b19qz #Insetting #Descarbonização #FLAG #MercadoDeCarbono #Agropecuária #SPCW #Sustentabilidade
