At the Round Table on Responsible Soy Association (RTRS) International Conference, our co-director moderated a clinic, "EUDR: from aspiration to delivery." The session looked at EUDR implementation, bringing together perspectives from companies, competent authorities, and national systems.
Quote from Helen Bellfield - while challenges and questions remain, the clear message was that we will be ready. The legal repository is a welcome development, but regulatory certainty is the most important factor of all

With 2026 already on track to become one of Indonesia's most severe fire seasons in recent years, access to reliable data has never been more critical. 🔥 That is why it is so important to see initiatives like the new FireWatch dashboard now live from Nusantara Atlas by The TreeMap.

🔥As we brace for the incoming fire season in Brazil, it's crucial to look at the hidden fuel behind the flames: our global food systems. Commodity traders are exposed to water-related risks in Brazilian beef and soy supply chains. Commodity expansion has direct implications for water resources.
