Looking back on a great day! We would like to thank everyone that joined us at #IDH10years. The enthusiasm, insights and solutions you shared was overwhelming. We are excited to continue our work together. Up to the next 10 years.
Here's a first impression of the Event.
Daan Wensing @IDH_buzz says #VerifiedSourcingAreas is allowing companies to source large volumes of commodities from entire verified #sustainable areas. While, in production areas, local actors can drive sustainable development and receive incentives by global markets.#idh10years
So true -- and such a neglected part of the story. Smallholders invest far more into the land than they are given credit for (pun unintended but warranted). @JuliaBolton thanks for sharing the insights you're getting from #IDH10years. #sustainableag#smallholders
