BONN, Germany – Fairtrade International today announced a new partnership with Satelligence to scale up satellite monitoring of forested areas and farms to all certified cocoa and coffee producer organisations globally. The initiative aims to connect Fairtrade cooperatives with data on their members’ farms and their deforestation risks, so the cooperatives can share these data with their commercial partners and better manage forest landscapes.| www.fairtrade.net
Farmers across Europe mounted their tractors and took to the streets to protest against inflation, foreign competition, and the cost of combating climate change. While the protests were important in raising the voice of farmers to policy makers, what is really needed are policies and incentives that support the transition to agroecology globally. And European policy can play a role to enable that.| www.fairtrade.net
