On this episode, Judith and Barnaby are joined by Leah Samberg, PhD. Leah is the Lead Scientist for the Accountability Framework initiative, a programme of the Rainforest Alliance. Leah’s LinkedIn profile describes her role as “Figuring out how to feed everyone without trashing the place!”.

The episode focuses on the work of the Accountability Framework initiative, and the results of a new report - Time for Transparency. Other topics include the role of legislation and certification, and what businesses can do to bridge the gap when it comes to achieving deforestation free supply chains.

The Rainforest Alliance of course is an international non-profit organisation, that is building an alliance to protect forests, improve the livelihoods of farmers and forest communities, promote their human rights, and help them mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis.
