Mitigation
Deforestation mitigation refers to efforts and strategies aimed at reducing or preventing the loss of forests. It involves actions such as promoting agroforestry, community-led tree-planting, protecting forests and their ecosystems or direct investment in a farm (with a high probability risk of deforestation) to improve cocoa production and or income. At Tony’s Open Chain, mitigation is targeted at any farm which is considered to have a high probability risk of deforestation as a result of a satellite imagery analysis or field visits. Remediation refers to action taken to restore a degraded environment, educate and raise awareness on the environmental laws and regulations, or provide any other support in response to deforestation detection in the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain. In the context of environment restoration, remediation might include: reforestation (planting trees in deforested areas to restore forest cover), tree regeneration efforts (encouraging the natural regrowth of trees through practices like assisted natural regeneration, where existing native flora is nurtured to recover and thrive), or the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices (i.e. agroforestry). Remediation aimed at responding to social factors may encompass education and training programs to local communities, supporting fair land tenure and rights, facilitating access to social services, or implementing community-based conservation projects to promote sustainable resource management.
