The study led by Sandra Eckert, CDE, analyses how large-scale soy land deals in Argentina & Brazil connect investors, trade flows & deforestation risk. Key findings:
🔹 14.2% of analysed soy areas are likely linked to #deforestation
🔹Domestic investors dominate
🔹 China is the main soy destination, but not a major investor
The results highlight the need for stronger, coordinated governance across global supply chains: https://t.ly/aK1L1 -

New paper by CDE scientists shows:🌳The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introduces strict due diligence and traceability requirements.
⚠️ But costs may fall unevenly on producers.
🔐 Data monetisation could help to offset compliance costs, but needs strong data protection.

Africa imports processed wood products – even though it exports large quantities of timber. The result: massive trade deficits.
In a research project conducted by CDE (@unibern ) & the African Forest Forum, a panel of experts explored ways to strengthen intra-African timber trade and promote legal, sustainable forestry – for the benefit of the #environment , more local jobs and #PovertyReduction.
