Sustainable agriculture - The Sustainable Agriculture Program is the leading model for effective implementation of social and environmental best management practices. Our goal is to promote sustainable agriculture worldwide through our internationally credible, proactive and responsive certification system that remains accessible to large agribusinesses and small farmers alike. In the pursuit of global sustainable agriculture, we are committed to developing our program into the leading model for effective implementation of social and environmental best management practices. Our goal is to promote sustainable agriculture worldwide through our internationally credible, proactive and responsive certification system that remains accessible to large agribusinesses and small farmers alike. As we continue to maximize, document and share the conservation and community benefits of our standards, we have encouraged the increased demand for sustainable agriculture products. Highlights in 2011 include: - By year's end, 2.8 million acres of farmland were Rainforest Alliance Certified-an area that includes 250,000 farms in 33 countries around the world. - Rainforest Alliance certification now covers more than 30 crops, including coffee, cocoa, bananas, pineapples, citrus and flowers. In 2011, the first palm oil plantation, located in Guatemala, won certification. - More than 6 percent of the world's tea is Rainforest Alliance Certified, and in 2011, a group of South African farms that grow rooibos (red bush tea) earned the first Rainforest Alliance certification for that crop. - Many new Rainforest Alliance Certified products made it onto the market in 2011, including Tetley tea, Magnum ice creams (the UK's number one brand) and Sweden's Marabou chocolate. In all, 510 new companies registered to buy and sell goods grown on certified farms during 2011, a 24 percent growth from the previous year, bringing the total to 2,692. - El Platanillo coffee farm in San Marcos, Guatemala, became the world's first Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM farm to earn verification for its compliance with climate-friendly criteria. - In Ghana, we teamed up with Olam International Ltd. to begin producing climate-friendly cocoa. - We launched the Greening the Cocoa Industry project, together with the Global Environment Facility and the UN Environment Programme; the project aims to bring 10 percent of the world's cocoa production into more sustainable practices in six years. - In Ecuador, a new chocolate bar made with cocoa from the Cofn indigenous community is helping farmers improve productivity and living standards, while protecting biodiversity on nearly 10,000 acres of land. - We launched an online training platform, an important step toward establishing a global training system to scale up our work with farmers around the world. - With the debut of SealYourCup.org - a website featuring videos, slideshows and accounts from the field - we are educating consumers about the on-the-ground benefits of certified coffee. - In 2011, our community forestry program assisted 175 operations in 10 countries. This work benefited 30,000 people and led to the certification or improved management of about 4.6 million acres of forests. - We launched an ambitious multi-year initiative to transform community forestry across Latin America. Community and indigenous groups in Peru and Bolivia have already sold more than $2 million of Brazil nuts and timber, diversifying their income sources while conserving forests. - We sent a delegation of climate and forestry experts to COP17, the major global climate change conference. Our team promoted support for climate mitigation strategies that include plans to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), which have the potential to protect biodiversity while helping to lift impoverished forest communities out of poverty. - The Rainforest Alliance and 16 leading conservation nonprofits launched the Alliance for Global REDD+ Capa

Activity 3

Trees - The Rainforest Alliance's TREES program focuses on (TR)aining, (E)xtension, (E)nterprises and (S)ourcing activities. We help communities and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) harvest and produce forest products in a sustainable way, and sell their goods to conscientious consumers in the global marketplace. The Rainforest Alliance has pioneered sustainable forestry on a global scale, helping to make working forests sustainable, and - by promoting responsible management - helping sustain and enhance the livelihoods derived from them. Highlights in 2011 included: - Our community forestry program assisted 175 operations in 10 countries, benefiting 30,000 people and leading to certification or improved management of about 4.6 million acres of forests. - We continued work on an ambitious multi-year initiative that aims to transform community forestry across Latin America. Community and indigenous groups in Peru and Bolivia have already sold more than $2 million of Brazil nuts and timber.
