Global supply chains and production systems are complicated and poorly tailored to a world of unlimited resources. The food industry is a chief offender, using 60% of the world’s freshwater, causing 70% of the world’s deforestation, and producing one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. A system so crucial to supporting a burgeoning world population must be redesigned, and the Rainforest Alliance has pioneered a win-win approach that is transforming this system for the better.
