Europese ontbossingswetgeving op komst
Of je nu koffiebonen, soja of cacao inkoopt, de kans bestaat dat de productie hiervan met ontbossing tot stand is gekomen. In de afgelopen dertig jaar hebben onze productie- en consumptiepatronen bijgedragen aan een afname van het wereldwijde bosoppervlak van ongeveer tien procent.
