Why AIM4Commodities? 

As the global demand for sustainable commodities increases, so does the need for reliable and transparent monitoring of land use and deforestation risks. Recent regulations emphasize the necessity of geospatial data for supply chains compliance. AIM4Commodities seeks to bridge persistent data gaps by providing open, inclusive, and scalable solutions to support smallholders, producers, companies, and regulators in ensuring sustainable and deforestation-free value chains. 

Scope and activities 

• Engage: Engagement with governments and commodity platforms to help engage a wide cross-section of supply-chain actors and enable feedback to government-led processes of relevance (national forest monitoring, cadastres and others). 
• Locate: Large-scale field data collection campaigns to bridge the gap for smallholder associations for regulation compliance, promoting right to data for smallholders, reducing de-duplication. 
• Monitor: Enhancing interoperability of Open Foris solutions with National Forest Monitoring Systems, integration of convergence of evidence processes in national platforms for forest and commodity monitoring. 
• Trace: Strengthening physical and digital traceability in key supply chains through open-source solutions.
