Marco Description Ambit Country Source
Andean Agricultural Agenda 2021-2025 The regional dialogues on deforestation-free products represent a key political and technical coordination tool that complements and strengthens the strategic pillars of the Andean Agricultural Agenda (AAA), particularly regarding the sustainability of agri-food systems and access to international markets. These platforms enable the joint addressing of challenges posed by new global regulations, such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and facilitate the development of common positions that reflect the productive, territorial, and social realities of the Member Countries. Furthermore, they enhance regional capacity for coordinated responses, promote sustainable practices, ensure the inclusion of small producers, and advance the transformation toward more resilient value chains aligned with international environmental standards, in line with the commitments of the Andean Community on sustainable rural development and regional integration.
