Activity 2

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. 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 2013 include: - The total area of farmland under Rainforest Alliance certification increased from 5.4 million acres (2.2 million hectares) to 6.4 million acres (2.2 million hectares). - Over 11 million people now directly benefit from the Rainforest Alliance's sustainable agriculture efforts, including farmers, farm workers and their families. - Hundreds of new companies began buying/selling Rainforest Alliance Certified agricultural products. - The Rainforest Alliance Certified seal can be seen in over 120 countries and has been awarded to farms growing nearly 40 different crops, including tea, cocoa, palm oil, peanuts, vanilla, onions, black pepper, cinnamon and beef. - The first spice farm received Rainforest Alliance certification. - Certified tea production increased reaching 13 percent of global production; certified cocoa production grew reaching 10 percent of global production; certified coffee production grew reaching 4.5 percent of global coffee production; and the world's first cattle ranch achieved Rainforest Alliance certification. - 600 coffee, tea and cocoa farmers are now verified to the SAN Climate Module (in addition to being Rainforest Alliance Certified) - The Rainforest Alliance's online training platform for agricultural trainers and farmers is now available in 6 languages.

Activity 3

Sustainable Forestry (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 2013 include: - The Rainforest Alliance maintained its position as the world's largest certifier to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards, increasing the area of certified forestlands to 189.3 million acres (76.6 million hectares) worldwide. That's an area the size of Texas. - At the close of fiscal year 2013, the Rainforest Alliance had issued 3,406 FSC Chain-of-Custody certificates in 78 countries with Canada and China continuing to demonstrate the largest regional growth. - During fiscal year 2013, the Rainforest Alliance's TREES Program provided assistance to over 17 new small- and medium-sized community and indigenous forestry operations in 14 countries, benefitting 3,859 new forest-dependent households, spanning an additional 256,000 million acres (104,000 hectares) and protecting 550 more miles (850 kilometers) of fresh water streams. - The Rainforest Alliance expanded its sustainable sourcing work with major companies, including a new collaboration with Earth Source, The Wood Bank and Wood Master, and ongoing work with Staples, Gibson, Oriflame, ASDA, Kingfisher subsidiary Koctes, Glaxo Smith Kline and Marks & Spencer. - TREES Guatemala won a five-year USAID grant of US$25 million, under the name "Climate, Nature and Communities in Guatemala" (CNCG), to be operated by a six-partner, TREES-led consortium, which includes WWF and TNC. CNCG is the Rainforest Alliances largest grant ever.
