软商品论坛的“农民第一集群”与英国政府探讨了无森林砍伐的生产转型
Authors
The Soft Commodities Forum
During the week of 20 March 2023, representatives of the UK government joined the Soft Commodities Forum (SCF) on a field trip to Western Bahia – one of the focus landscapes of the SCF’s Farmer First Clusters landscape investment initiative. 这次旅行的参与者深入了解了巴西塞拉多地区森林砍伐和无转换商品生产的挑战和机遇.
此次访问正值制定和实施将农业商品生产与土地清理做法脱钩的解决方案的势头日益增强之际. Stakes are high in ecosystems like the Cerrado, 在那里,自然资源丰富的原生土地对于支持全球气候目标以及自然和生物多样性目标至关重要.
Following the supply chain upstream, 实地考察从阿拉图港开始,小组在那里亲身探索了大豆出口前隔离和质量平衡物流背后的挑战. A thousand kilometers inland, the delegation had the opportunity to meet with farmers at AIBA, 这是一个主要的生产者协会,代表着1400万公顷土地上1300名农民的利益,这一面积相当于3个英格兰,5次瑞士-了解与巴西土地登记(CAR)和水管理项目相关的挑战.
In Luis Eduardo Magalhães, at the heart of Western Bahia, 一位主要的大豆和棉花生产商主持了一次农场参观,他兴奋地指出,巴西在未来几年里有扩大农业生产的潜力 50 million hectares of available degraded pastureland, without need to clear or convert native vegetation. 这次访问揭示了数字技术和生物投入在提高生产力和确保更好的气候和生物多样性指标方面的作用.
For the visit participants, 在塞拉多学习的时间使人们共同认识到合作寻找减少森林损失的解决方案的重要性, increase restoration and support sustainable production and farmer livelihoods, while keeping in mind the context of each unique landscape.
For the UK government, 人们对巴西塞拉多的兴趣,源自于遏制全球森林砍伐的广泛承诺 Forests and Climate Leaders Partnership (FCLP) and as a founder of the Forest, Agriculture and Commodity Trade (FACT) Dialogue. FCLP汇集了一批国家元首和部长,他们通过多方利益攸关方的方法,为制止和扭转森林砍伐和土地退化提供综合政治支持. These efforts work in parallel with the FACT Dialogue, 政府与政府之间的合作,与主要的国际商品生产国合作,保护生态系统,促进可持续贸易.
“As a member of both the FCLP and the FACT Dialogue, 英国政府将此次对塞拉多的访问视为其努力的一部分,以扩大对具体挑战和解决方案的关注,以建立无森林砍伐和无转换的商品生产和贸易. 如果不加大行动力度解决全球粮食系统的排放问题,就无法实现《正规博彩十大网站》的目标,” said David Saddington, Head of Sustainable Supply Chains, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
英国政府的国际合作为基层行动奠定了基础, 哪些只能通过为生产社区提供可行的过渡途径来实现. Initiatives like the SCF’s Farmer First Clusters landscape investment model aim to present such pathways, providing the following benefits in practice:
- 保护原生植被,为避免砍伐森林和改造提供资金;
- Contribute to the emergence of nature-positive landscapes by restoring native habitats and diverting soy expansion to degraded pastures; and
- 证明生产者遵守当地法律,并通过农场推广服务提高生产力.
农民优先集群倡议是通过多方利益相关者流程建立的, instigated by the SCF’s 6 member agri-businesses – ADM, Bunge, Cargill, COFCO International, Louis Dreyfus Company and Viterra. The initiative maximizes impacts for climate, 通过提供以农民为中心的特定景观激励措施,实现自然和公平. 这些解决方案——都致力于降低森林砍伐和原生植被转化的机会成本——涵盖了对剩余法定储备的财政补偿, technical assistance for sustainable production, restoration of native vegetation, integrated farming and expansion over pastureland. In doing so, 这些解决方案支持向森林积极土地利用管理和商品生产过渡, present benefits to producer livelihoods, and showcase collective action in key soy-producing landscapes.
投资模式直接参与塞拉多的土地使用决策,也实现了SCF成员公司作为协议签署人的承诺 Agriculture Sector Roadmap to 1.5°C. 该路线图提出了一项行动计划,由14家世界领先的农产品贸易商制定,以加快行动,实现符合全球正规博彩十大网站排名目标的无森林砍伐商品供应链.5°C pathway. “农民优先集群”倡议通过改变土地利用变化的经济性,解决了路线图的第二支柱——商品生产景观转型, enabling farmers to conserve lands and produce soy sustainably.
Nevertheless, transformation is a complex process, 随着“农民优先集群”倡议开始在西巴伊亚州和塞拉多其他地区实施解决方案, SCF呼吁价值链合作伙伴和利益相关者支持在塞拉多及其他地区扩展解决方案. 投资有助于确保塞拉多的景观免受森林砍伐和原生植被转换的影响, through financially viable and sustainable soy production.
