Many regulations on food production aim to increase the sustainability of value chains. However, as illustrated in the case of the EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR), due to compliance procedures these well-intentioned policies can unintentionally discriminate against smallholder farmers, even though many of them adopt lower-impact traditional farming practices. How does this happen, and how is the Alliance leveraging the latest digital innovation to ensure value chain inclusivity? Discover the example of addressing the constraints of smallholder coffee farmers with machine vision.
