A video showcases the Tacana indigenous people in the Bolivian Amazon, who view their forest as life and future. For generations, they have sustainably managed over 49,000 hectares, leveraging Asaí (acai) under conservation principles through the Sustainable Forests Project. Technical and financial assistance has bolstered their productive capacities, infrastructure, and quality standards, facilitating access to national and international markets.
Women are vital to the Asaí value chain. From the Amazon to global markets like Washington, Tacana Asaí proves that income generation, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience can be achieved simultaneously.

In 2021, Bhutan designated quinoa as its "One Country One Product" (OCOP), valuing its high nutrition, farmer income potential, export suitability, and climate resilience for mitigating agricultural impacts.
Supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Bartsham Gewog's quinoa is becoming a Geographical Indication and Environmental Sustainability (GIES) product. This certifies its unique origin, traditional farming, and sustainable practices, boosting its value and access to premium markets.

When exporting crops, nations also export the water and resources vital for their growth. If prices fail to reflect these embedded costs, these valuable resources are effectively given away for free.

Bananas are the world’s most exported and consumed fresh fruit. Ensuring a just and resilient supply chain increasingly relies on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), especially as new EU regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandate compliance across the banana sector.
A webinar, organized by Victor Prada and Valeria Villacorta, examines how integrating Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) into HRDD strengthens business performance, enhances worker well-being, and fosters resilient, equitable supply chains. This human rights-based, gender-sensitive approach improves operational efficiency, reduces costs, and boosts worker productivity and loyalty.

Rangelands cover nearly half the world's land, supporting unique biodiversity and pastoral traditions. Pastoralists raise animals, contribute to food security, and preserve ecosystems globally through their diverse cultural heritage and traditional knowledge.
The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026) calls for policies ensuring pastoralists' access to land and resources, supporting their mobility, and promoting inclusive governance. It encourages investments in rangeland management, ecosystem restoration, animal health, and sustainable value chains. This year is a unique opportunity to highlight their significance and the importance of responsible investments and tailored policies.
