October 16-18, FPP, with the support of RECOFTC?The Center for People and Forests, organized a technical workshop to review commodity roundtables standards on Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), customary land, conflict resolution and high conservation values. The workshop resulted in a realization of the need for greater consistency of use of key community protections by commodity roundtables, as well as of the need for systematic information sharing on workable certification standards relating to the issues above. Six voluntary commodity standards (Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, Roundtable on Responsible Soy, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, BonSucro, Shrimp Aquaculture Dialogue and Forest Stewardship Council) and various concerned NGOs participated. FPP?s release of the comparative review of commodity roundtables spurred an exploration of how these themes could be better recognized and/or secured through the standards, and, going beyond the standards themselves, how they could encourage the inclusion and translation of these themes into wider legal and policy reform.
