Beef, soy and palm oil are just a few examples of agricultural commodities that put global forests and native species at risk during production, processing, and transportation. There are valuable investigations done tying forest loss to produce sold in European markets. But tracing supply chains remains notoriously difficult, especially when commodities end up hidden in non-food products like paper, furniture, and animal feeds.
This practical tools session will explore Trase (https://www.trase.earth/), a supply chain monitoring tool developed by the Stockholm Environmental Institute and a non-profit called Global Canopy, along with Selo Verde, to trace the livestock production chain throughout the state of Pará in Brazil. The tools are widely used by researchers, policymakers, practitioners and investigative journalists who revealed, e.g. a large volume of beef imported from deforestation-linked giants in Brazil ended up in Germany.
