A large number of governance interventions are being developed in order to reduce deforestation and enhance the sustainability of commodity
supply chains across the tropics. The extent to which individual agricultural commodity supply chain interventions can achieve scale, and
environmental or social objectives, depends in part on the ways in which those interventions interact with other interventions. We use a casestudy
of the new Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) cattle certification program in Brazil to explore the different ways in which governance

Assessing forest changes is the baseline requirement for successful forest management. Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) are three essential components for achieving such assessments. Community participation in resource monitoring and management is increasingly seen as a scientifically efficient, cost-effective, and equitable way to employ such practices, particularly in the context of REDD+. We developed a multidisciplinary approach to study the feasibility of Participatory MRV (PMRV) across three sites along a forest degradation gradient in Indonesia.

• New technical intensification models must be identified for low-productivity systems in degraded lands, adapted to the
biophysical and sociotechnical conditions of the Amazonian landscapes.
• Multiple constraints inhibit progress toward sustainable intensification of cattle ranching, and reversing them requires that

Agriculture needs to feed 9 billion people by 2050. This will require a 70 100% increase in food production (Godfray et al. 2010). Given climate change, a new kind of agriculture is therefore essential, one that must meet the triple challenge not only of ensuring food security, but also of adapting to future climate change and contributing to climate change mitigation. Meeting these challenges will require coordination with the mechanism known as Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) and other efforts to conserve forests.
