The Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) convenes companies, CSOs, and governments in sustainable public-private partnerships. SDH’s goal is to of design, co-fund, and prototype new economically viable approaches to enabling green and inclusive growth in commodity sectors and sourcing areas.
IDH co-designs and drives ambitious sustainable investment plans that leverage the interests and advantages of companies and governments and deliver large-scale, systemic, and sustainable change. IDH co-finances new approaches that aim to accelerate green and inclusive growth. IDH adapts, learns, and innovates to make sure its approaches are cost-efficient, economically viable, scalable, and can be institutionalized.
To Initiative 20x20, IDH:
- Brings a business approach that avoids further deforestation and restores degraded land. The IDH approach connects farmers that produce commodities sustainably through value chains to buyers and consumers. Major retailers and other global companies have committed to delinking their products from deforestation. This is an opportunity to develop new sustainable methods of production on restored land. By responsibly intensifying production, the production of soy, cotton, and other crops can be more efficient, and deforestation will decline. IDH also supports farmers who restore and protect forests on the property.
- Provides policy advice and implementation support to regional and national governments.
- Supports multi-stakeholder governance structures for land-use planning, monitoring, and verification that support increased production, the protection of the environment and the inclusion of various stakeholders.
- Manages over €15 million in Technical Assistance Facilities linked to Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Fund, &Green Fund and AGRI3 Fund, also known as IDH Partner Funds, and in close collaboration with IDH's smallholder-focused Farmfit Fund. In Colombia, IDH is launching a Landscape Investment Development Hub – aiming to narrow the investment readiness gap between motivated investors and innovative sustainable land use project developers through tailor-made TA and connection to financing.
- Trains stakeholders, supports technical assistance, and builds capacity at the project, regional, and national levels.
- Actively supports the recognition of a number of areas in Latin American as Verified Sourcing Areas for commodity markets in the EU and beyond.
- Communicates broadly, disseminating efforts to move the restoration agenda forward.
