The role of the Rainforest Alliance

The certification standard of Rainforest Alliance is relatively high and strict, which is composed of three departments and supervision: nature conservation. It is composed of three departments: farming methods and regional ecology. There are detailed and strict regulations on forest ecological protection, the use of farming methods, the use of pesticides, the use of chemical materials, the disposal of waste materials, the labor environment and so on, which are beneficial to the protection of the ecological environment.

Rainforest Alliance, referred to as RA, founded in New York in 1987, is a non-profit, non-governmental organization for the protection of the ecological environment. At the same time, it is also the largest and most authoritative FSC organization certified by the international forest certification system FSC. Its institutional mission is to change the pattern of land use, and commercial and consumer behavior protects the forest ecosystem and the wildlife and people who live on it. The Alliance is currently working with 50 countries, governments and enterprises around the world to change the pattern of land use and develop how to make long-term sustainable use of ecological resources and maintain the stability of the ecosystem.

The Tropical Rainforest Alliance takes measures to prevent the excessive development of traditional agriculture. On the one hand, it protects the natural ecology and lists enterprises and organizations that are willing to create and maintain excellent agricultural gardens and agricultural farming environment as certification objects. Protect the ecosystem and its dependent humans and wildlife by changing the use of land, commercial behavior, and consumer behavior. And achieve the preservation of biodiversity and provide sustainable development.

On the other hand, the Rainforest Alliance also provides relatively perfect support to agricultural producers, ensuring the relevant rights and interests of producers and requiring certified enterprises or organizations to abide by the minimum wage law established by the country. in addition to providing producers with a safe and clean working environment, enterprises should also meet the basic living needs of workers, such as proper housing and drinking water environment, and so on. It is also necessary to provide producers and their relatives with the necessary medical equipment and compulsory education institutions for children.

Among them, ─ coffee, the second largest agricultural product in circulation in the world, is also certified by the alliance.
