The Rainforest Alliance have Released their 2020 Report

The Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit at the intersection of business, agriculture, and forests. It aims to create a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities.

By joining forces with more than 2 million farmers managing 6.8+ hectares of certified farmland in 70 countries around the world, the Rainforest Alliance are working to address some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges, including farmer livelihoods, child labour and deforestation.
