• Leadership in procurement: How to turn compliance into business opportunity
• Forest frontiers: Where are the emerging deforestation hot spots and what are we going to do about them?
• Data driven agriculture: How to improve access to farm-level data to enhance yield, productivity and farmer livelihoods
• A blueprint for biodiversity: How to integrate nature-related risks – and opportunities – into business strategy and decision making
• Living income: Strategies to close the living income gap within farming communities
• Nature Roadmap: What does a credible set of targets look like in the short, medium and long term?
• What does regenerative agriculture mean for smallholder farmers?
• Carbon insetting: How to measure your land use footprint to understand and demonstrate impact
• CSRD and the acronym soup: How to navigate reporting requirements and unlock opportunity in the evolving regulatory landscape
