To mitigate climate change, the WBF members contributing to WG01 produced a practical guide with a value-chain approach to reduce carbon and water footprints in banana plantations worldwide, including experiences from Costa Rica, leading country in GHG-emission reduction in the banana industry, aiming to replicate the lessons learned worldwide .

The subgroups have been officially presented and launched by their coordinators during a dedicated WG01 call on Monday 18 June 2018. They will allow a better allocation of expertise and resources as well as better coordination, and improved pace of action for the WG01.

Several new organizations have joined the World Banana Forum since the Third Global Conference which took place in November 2017. Discover these new members here.

This Steering Committee meeting will be an opportunity to exchange information on the challenges that the banana industry is currently facing and to share the results of the WBF’s Working Groups on environment, distribution of value, gender & labour rights, and our global events and alliances.
