Technical Session: Intensification and Scaling Up Best Practices in Sustainable Commodity Production
Supporting a Sustainable Transition for Small and Large Producers:Â Â Leveraging Technology, Territorial Planning, & Community Engagement
Thursday, May 22, 2025
Convention Center at the Federal University of Acre
Times: 14h30 to 16h00 and 17h00 to 18h00
Objective
Our panel addresses an urgent and strategic transformation: the transition to a new forest economy. This is not only a technical or environmental challenge, but a long-term structural challenge for the subnational governments that make up the GCFTF. Overcoming the short term extractivist logic, this new economy recognizes the value of the standing forest, promotes the bioeconomy, innovation and sustainability, and positions the private and community sectors as key actors in territorial development.
Specific Objectives
- Analyze successful models for linking technology, territorial planning and the community in sustainable production chains.
- Identify barriers and bottlenecks to scale up to sustainable practices from small, medium and large producers.
- Design practical recommendations for public policies and financing mechanisms, with a focus on public-private partnerships and South-South cooperation.
- Establish concrete opportunities for collaboration and exchange of experiences to work on pilot initiatives among the different GCFTF member jurisdictions.
