Chile

The study A Sustainability Standard for the Chilean Agriculture Sector (UNEP, 2016b) was produced in partnership with Fundación Chile, with the objective of assessing how sustainability standards and ecolabels could help to overcome challenges in the Chilean agricultural sector. The study identified implementation and knowledge gaps, as well as opportunities for establishing a sustainability standard for Chile’s agricultural export products. The study benefited from the support and inputs of key stakeholders and government institutions (the Office for Agricultural Studies and Policies, in the Ministry of Environment, and ProChile), including during three stakeholder workshops organized in the country.
