While regulatory measures like the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) have been delayed, they underscore the challenges faced by organizations sourcing commodities from diverse global regions. The complexity of these supply chains—coupled with a constant influx of new technological solutions—can lead to decision paralysis. Forward-thinking companies recognize that taking action, despite these uncertainties, is crucial for getting a head start on a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. FLINTpro recently collaborated with one such company aiming to understand deforestation exposure within its beef supply chain.

In the global fight against climate change, one of the most potent yet often overlooked solutions lies in the land sector. Broadly defined, “land-sector emissions” are the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released from land-based activities in the Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) sector, also known as the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector in the scientific community. Managing FLAG emissions—which represent 22% of the rising global total—could be a game-changer in curbing global warming, as well as protecting biodiversity and preventing deforestation.
