Initiative für Nachhaltige Agrarlieferketten (INA)

The Initiative für Nachhaltige Agrarlieferketten (INA) is an alliance of stakeholders from the private sector, civil society and politics. Its goal is to achieve greater sustainability in global agricultural supply chains and to improve the living conditions of smallholder farmers. To achieve this, INA works independently of individual commodities, instead focusing on the development of sustainable regions where a cross-commodity approach comes into play.

The focus of its work is on deforestation-free supply chains, living incomes, better transparency in supply chains, and digital solutions to support producers. In addition, the INA serves as an information platform. As part of the program Nachhaltige Lieferketten und Standards (Sustainable Supply Chains and Standards) of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), it works closely with colleagues who have many years of expertise on individual commodities.  Also through close exchange with commodity-specific multi-actor partnerships, INA creates synergies to effectively combat deforestation and low wages and incomes.
