It is undisputable that addressing deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change with the rise in greenhouse gas emissions is a compound global issue that is important to be collectively addressed and has to be done urgently. Although the private sector – as key element of forest and agricultural value chains – is not doing enough towards internalising their negative externalities on forests, it serves as a paramount lever if such a sector can further effectively engage in halting the expansion of the agricultural frontier into forests.
