Certified Brazil Trade Fair, a biannual event on FSC certified forest products since 2004, will now also include certified agricultural products. It will bring together producers and potential clients of products that are environmentally appropriate and socially beneficial.
Certification is a market tool that assures the consumer that the origin of the product he buys, either from the forest or the farm, is known and that it meets strict international standards. In order to obtain certification, forest and agricultural enterprises must undergo social and environmental evaluations that confirm that they are managed in a way that favor environmental conservation and social benefits.
The trade fair will focus on products certified according to two types of certification schemes: the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which develops international standards for responsable forest management and the SAN (Sustainable Agriculture Network), whose Rainforest Alliance Certified label ensures responsible agricultural practices.
During this three day event, participants will be able to take part in the Business Forum, a space designed to host discussions on environmental issues related to the agricultural and forest sectors.
