SAFLIN PERU - Feasibility study on the implementation of the Lindt agricultural programme’s agroforestry and carbon pilot project in Peru
Partners
Main goals
As part of the Lindt Climate Commitment, the company has assessed its carbon footprint and is committed to reducing it; agroforestry has been identified as a key driver of this strategy.
Nitidæ has already worked with Lindt to design an agroforestry pilot project and assess its feasibility in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana (SAFLIN). The aim this time is therefore to assess the feasibility of this pilot project in Peru in relation to the stakeholders, cooperatives and businesses associated with Lindt, as well as in light of local specificities
Specific objectives
SO1. Understand the different types of producers, their constraints, their views on agroforestry, and the general structure of the supply zone
SO2. Understand the characteristics and specific features of agroforestry cocoa plantations in the supply zone: tree density, spatial organisation, and the most common species
SO3. Assess the emissions reduction potential and the feasibility of the agroforestry pilot project for the supply zone
SO4. Provide recommendations for the implementation of the pilot project: stakeholders and beneficiaries to target, activities to be proposed
