  • Global agricultural supply chains are frequently associated with human rights violations – particularly upstream, when large-scale commercial production is established on land previously used by smallholders or indigenous populations. In response, various frameworks that target the country of production, for example the VGGT, or investors, such as the CFS-RAI, are being implemented. In addition, new human rights due diligence regulations target the supply chain to hold downstream buyers and importers accountable. Finally, again with the objective of holding actors accountable, a range of monitoring initiatives are continuously working on the provision of relevant data and increasing transparency.

    While these different approaches address human rights concerns related to global agricultural production, they are directed at different stakeholders, are currently at different stages of implementation, and thus little aligned. This means that important synergies remain unused. The side event aims to explore the potential synergies to address human rights violations in global agricultural production.

    Land-Based Investments in Global Supply Chains and the Protection of Vulnerable Groups

    The second phase of the research project “Large-Scale Land Acquisitions, Rural Change, and Social Conflict” focuses on the socio-economic impact of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLA) on local populations, particularly in terms of communal land rights and indigenous groups. Furthermore, it investigates the relationship between LSLA and global (agricultural) supply chains. The project aims to synthesise existing research and generate new evidence at the intersection of rural development and sustainable production and consumption.
