Synopsis (short abstract) Without halting forest loss, the global community will not be able to meet climate targets. The overwhelming driver of forest loss today is associated with expansion of agricultural production. Traceability and transparency in supply chains for these products are therefore necessary to understand the impact of commodities on forests, and to support the design, implementation, and monitoring of effective solutions to address forest loss. This report was prepared by World Resources Institute, Efeca, and Kanopi Consulting with the technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

    Traditionally a rural economy focused primarily on herding, Mongolia is rapidly changing as a consequence of urbanization and rapid growth in the mining sector However, despite the large contribution of mining to Gross Domestic Product and exports, the agriculture and food sectors remain hugely important for the economy, social make up and ecology of Mongolia The livestock sub sector accounts for almost 10 percent of export earnings and about 80 percent of total agricultural production Agriculture employs 35 percent of the total labour force With 25 percent of the overall population living below the poverty line, and one third of youth unemployed, the creation of inclusive employment and the improvement of livelihoods are top national priorities The agriculture and food sectors offer the best opportunity to increase inclusive employment.

    Also available in:
    The OECD-FAO Business Handbook on Deforestation and Due Diligence in Agricultural Supply Chains aims to help companies incorporate deforestation and forest degradation considerations in their supply chain due diligence and responsible sourcing efforts and adopt a holistic approach to deforestation risk and forest-positive outcomes. It builds on the risk-based due diligence framework of the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains, the leading international framework on responsible business conduct and risk-based due diligence in the agri-food sector.

    OECD-FAO Business Handbook on Deforestation and Due Diligence in Agricultural Supply Chains 2023
    Also available in:
    This handbook was developed by OECD and FAO to help companies embed considerations on deforestation and forest degradation into their corporate due diligence procedures. It is informed by FAO’s extensive work and experience on halting deforestation and forest degradation and promoting responsible governance of tenure. The handbook builds on the leading international, government-backed standards on supply chain due diligence and responsible business conduct: the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the associated due diligence framework set out in the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct. This handbook demonstrates how the OECD-FAO Guidance can be applied to address deforestation by contextualizing existing recommendations and directing users towards helpful sources of due diligence information.
