Our Story

TFA is a global public-private partnership in which partners take voluntary actions, to reduce and ultimately halt the tropical deforestation associated with the sourcing of commodities such as palm oil, soy, beef, and paper and pulp. TFA fosters cross-sectoral collaboration based on a common and ever-deepening understanding of the barriers and opportunities linked to deforestation-free supply chains.
