Oil palm, livestock and cocoa: An integrated landscape management approach.

The purpose of this project is improvement of landscape functions and management of the Region Autónoma del Caribe Sur (RACS) by the region’s oil palm and livestock producers for improved resilience to climate change and extreme weather events, food security, and livelihoods. Led by CAPROPALMA, the Nicaraguan palm oil sector, with support from Solidaridad and its CSO partners, palm oil and livestock producers, communities and government entities in the RACS will co-develop an enabling environment for policy development and implement an integrated and sustainable landscape management approach that seeks the appropriate balance between large-scale commodity production and food security that reflects a robust socially-inclusive policy framework that strengthens resilience to the effects of climate change such as extreme weather events and other shocks, and that promotes a sustainable and healthy natural resource base for future generations.
