🤖 Farmers should retain control over their data. Information about land and crops should be collected and used with consent, transparency and fair access. 🗣️ Communities need a voice. Farmers and forest communities should be able to raise complaints and access remedy when their rights are violated.

🧑‍🌾 Farmers should not bear the costs of protecting forests. Companies that profit from commodities such as cocoa and palm oil should cover compliance costs rather than pushing them onto smallholders.
