SAFE – Reducing deforestation and forest degradation through sustainable agricultural value chains and improved forest governance : Brazil 🇧🇷, Ecuador 🇪🇨, Indonesia 🇮🇩, and Zambia 🇿🇲

The Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems (SAFE) project is dedicated to the preservation of forests through the promotion of sustainable agri-food systems. SAFE operates in nine countries – Brazil, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ecuador, Indonesia, Peru, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia – supporting the transition to deforestation-free, sustainable, and legal value chains, with Cameroon, Peru and Uganda recently added to the implementation countries. The project enhances technical knowledge, builds capacity, expands traceability systems, and fosters partnerships at local, national, and regional levels.
SAFE aligns with the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) by empowering smallholders, incentivising deforestation reduction, and strengthening local capabilities for sustainable land use and agriculture. It also promotes international knowledge exchange, transparency in value chains, and civil society engagement to support forest preservation and gender-transformative approaches.
