EUDR unpacked #3: palm and soy plantations under the lens (webinar video recording)

Share

The EUDR delayed timelines frustrate NGOs, while some stakeholders see an opportunity to refine systems, include smallholders, and clarify definitions. Can this time be used to ensure success for producers and compliance for all?

In the third webinar in the ‘EUDR unpacked’ series, we addressed critical questions surrounding the regulation. This session focused specifically on the impact of EUDR on palm oil and soy plantations, putting these sectors under the spotlight.
