Agricultural Supply Chain Sustainability

This research paper examines the perspectives of demand-side actors in globalized supply chains for forest-risk commodities, identifying barriers to sustainability progress and the role of civil society pressure and certification.

• Demand-side actors, such as consumer-goods companies, retailers, and civil society organizations, have adopted various sustainable supply chain policies for forest-risk commodities like soy, palm oil, and cocoa, but the implementation of data-driven tools for decision-making is currently lagging.
• Based on 20 semi-structured interviews and two focus group discussions, the authors found that while civil society pressure in consumer regions drives action and certification is used to mitigate negative impacts, there is still a lack of collaboration to address systemic issues.
