HARNESSING GREEN TRADE AND
LANDSCAPE SUSTAINABILITY
Capacity Building Targets
1.Young researchers
• Research methodology for complex issues in sustainability
2. Smallholders famer
• Sustainable production system (Integrated system and
GAP, for example: Intercropping, Island of trees, etc)
3. Public policy
• EUDR and Sustainability issues in OP

5. GCRF TRADE HUB INDONESIA CLOSING EVENT
HARNESSING GREEN TRADE AND
LANDSCAPE SUSTAINABILITY
1. CB for young researchers:
Increased Complexity of Sustainability issues in OP research:
1. Multistakeholder in a landscape
2. Asymmetric goals
3. Associated with power relation
3. Transdisciplinary approach
 Need special tools to capture complex issues

6. GCRF TRADE HUB INDONESIA CLOSING EVENT
HARNESSING GREEN TRADE AND
LANDSCAPE SUSTAINABILITY
1. Young researchers (continued):
 We offer online and offline training in systematic review,
meta-analysis, and social network analysis to young
researchers who need to develop research and literature
skills for complex issues

Remarks
1. Generated knowledges and networks in the TradeHub
project are essential and potential for capacity building in OP
Trade and Sustainability
2. Capacity building for young researchers and smallholder
farmers regarding the oil palm sustainability should be
emphasized in the TradeHub roadmap and implemented
further post-project.

13. CIFOR-ICRAF
The Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) harnesses
the power of trees, forests and agroforestry landscapes to address the most pressing global
challenges of our time –biodiversity loss, climate change, food security, livelihoods and inequity.
CIFOR and ICRAF are CGIAR Research Centers.
