Our projects
Fostering partnerships to promote PEFC certification in Hungary
Smallholders
Hungary was one of the few remaining European countries with a significant share of private forest owners, but without a national forest certification system. Our Collaboration Fund project helped to change this.
Mushroom traceability: from the forest to the plate
Non-wood forest products
As consumers become increasingly distant from the origins of their food, this project brought them closer together: tracing the journey mushrooms take from the forest to the plate, telling their story along the way.
PEFC-certified cork campaign
Non-wood forest products
If managed appropriately, cork production is sustainable. This project promoted cork certification at both ends of the supply chain: creating demand and encouraging sustainable production.
Synergies between FLEGT VPA and PEFC Certification
Research
Exploring synergies and formal recognition between Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPAs) and certification in Ghana.
