Join me at Economist Impactās 9th annual Sustainability Week, where I will be speaking this week. The event will take place on March 4th-6th 2024, in London, UK and virtual. I will be on a panel to discuss āScaling local solutions for global supply chainsā on Tuesday March 5th 2024, 17:00 GMT.
The session will explore how organisations can work with local and indigenous communities to bring their knowledge of nature into play. These case studies will uncover the catalysts behind a transformative approach to working with nature and restoring biodiversity. How can local solutions be brought up to a global scale?
I will draw on Forum for the Future’s work on value chains, including:
ā¢ 7 shifts for responsible value chains
ā¢ Scaling regenerative agriculture and agroecology through Growing our Future and Protein Challenge Southeast Asia
ā¢ From conventional agricultural supply chains to Regenerative Value Networks
ā¢ Responsible recruitment in global supply chains
ā¢ Learning from indigenous knowledge
