Healthy Ecosystems-推荐几个足彩外围app

Our vision is one of living landscapes where farmers and communities prosper within regenerated ecosystems. Every crop we grow, or source is embedded in a broader, complex, and delicate ecosystem. Changes to one factor to produce a positive outcome can have negative impacts on other areas, so we must take a holistic and informed approach. The challenge is made even greater because many of the crops are sourced from third-parties.

Measuring Progress

With such a fine balancing act, it’s important to have a clear programme of activities and a consistent approach. We work with farming communities to explain the importance of protecting the ecosystems on which they rely, and train groups on the best approach to maintaining aspects such as soil health, optimising inputs, and protecting native species of flora and fauna. Read about some of our initiatives in our latest annual report.

Our sustainability codes and policies intended to reduce ecosystem risk are in line with international standards (FSC, IFC, and RSPO), and – as outlined in the Living Landscapes Policy – seek a net positive impact.

We seek partnerships with other organisations to encourage farmers' responsible land use and provide training on use of pesticides.
