Jurisdictional approaches to sustainable agro-commodity governance: The state of knowledge and future research directions

The production and trade of primary agro-commodities drive significant land use change, with profound consequences for the planet and people. In a special report on climate change and land, the International Panel on Climate Change (2019) warned that any pathway aimed at limiting global warming to within 2 °C requires reduced carbon emissions and land use change. The destruction of natural ecosystems also carries significant implications for the economic livelihoods and traditional ways of life of the approximately 1.6 billion rural people, including many indigenous communities, who reside in and around forests (Newton et al., 2020).
