The IISD Model Contract Clauses for Responsible Investment in Agriculture

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has developed a set of customizable model contract clauses designed to help governments implement international best practices for responsible agricultural investment and advance sustainable development.

• The IISD Model Contract Clauses provide customizable legal language to assist governments in filling gaps in domestic laws to ensure agricultural investments align with sustainable development and provide adequate food for all.
• The model clauses are specifically designed to support state lawyers, policy-makers, and investment negotiators, featuring cross-cutting provisions that address climate change and gender equity to promote a just transition to climate-resilient production.
