Together with partner organizations in 120 countries, we are involved in a wide variety of projects.

Field of activity

Global supply chains shape the lives of billions of people and influence the environment, biodiversity, and climate. The Sector Project (SP) Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains promotes the improvement of social, economic, and ecological sustainability in global agricultural supply chains on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is part of the “Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains Initiative” (SASI) cluster, which consists of three complementary agricultural supply chain projects.

The SP focuses on selected agricultural products such as cocoa, coffee, and palm oil, as well as topics such as combating abusive child labor, ensuring living incomes and wages, and protecting forests and climate. The project advises the client and promotes both sector-specific and cross-stakeholder partnerships and alliances. It relies on a coordinated, strategic approach with relevant stakeholders from politics, the private sector, and civil society.
