Description

“The linear sequence of processes, actors and locations involved in the production, distribution and sale of a commodity from start to finish”. ¹

Biodiversity supports ecosystem services and many of the raw materials needed in the process, production and distribution of commodities. Supply chains can have large impacts on biodiversity through resource extraction, land-use change and pollution. For example, agricultural supply chains are linked to deforestation in the tropics. ²
