This FAO report explores how forest monitoring systems can improve transparency in commodity supply chains, particularly for deforestation-linked commodities such as palm oil, soy, and cocoa. The study assesses regulatory frameworks, geospatial technologies, and new frontiers in forest risk monitoring to enhance sustainable supply chains.
• Key Insights:
• Remote sensing technology enhances supply chain traceability.
• Data-sharing platforms support accountability for commodity sourcing.
• Strengthening regulatory frameworks can reduce illegal deforestation.
• EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and UK Forest Risk Commodity (FRC) regime are key drivers of compliance.
