[1,null,"Cirad","8-0004-04-000-00","Organisations","Affiliate","France","Afilliate","CIRAD is the French agricultural research and international cooperation organization working for the sustainable development of\ntropical and Mediterranean regions.\nCIRAD (French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development) is a public establishment (EPIC) under the joint\nauthority of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development.\nIts activities concern the life sciences, social sciences and engineering sciences, applied to agriculture, the environment and\nterritorial management.\nIts work centres on six main topics: food security, climate change, natural resource management, reduction of inequalities and\npoverty alleviation.\nCIRAD works with its partners in southern countries to generate and pass on new knowledge to support agricultural development. It\nputs its scientific and institutional expertise at the disposal of policymakers in those countries and global debates on the main\nissues concerning agriculture. It also supports French scientific diplomacy operations.\nCIRAD has one main objective: to build sustainable farming systems capable of feeding ten billion human beings by 2050 while\npreserving the environment.\nIt considers that to develop long term and draft appropriate public policies, societies have to participate in generating the knowledge\nthey need. That development through research relies on the ability of the countries concerned to build a suitable higher education\nand research system that is supported by the authorities but remains independent.\nOn a local and a global level, through its long-term partnerships, it contributes to the development of farming systems that benefit\nall, and particularly smallholders, who make up the majority of farmers.\nIn this way, it responds to the global challenges of food security and climate change, and also the 17 UN Sustainable Development\nGoals (SDGs) and the Paris agreement on climate change.\nTraining, dissemination of information and knowledge and innovation sharing naturally complement agricultural CIRAD's research\nmandate by giving its partners and development players the means to make the choices incumbent upon them.\nDiploma and vocational training in southern countries is an essential part of this, and relies on a commitment on the part of each\nand every researcher.\nCIRAD is also a major player in talks between Europe and the South. It belongs to numerous European and international networks,\nand facilitates access for its partners in the South to EU programmes and their involvement in international scientific cooperation\nnetworks.\nCIRAD has a network of partners on three continents, and 14 regional offices, from which it works with more than 100 countries. Its\nlong-term partnership strategy centres on 23 platforms in partnership for research and training (dPs), associating 200 organizations\nin southern countries, to which 200 of its researchers are assigned (100 in Africa, 50 in Asia and 50 in South America).\nIn France, it provides the national and global scientific communities with extensive research and training facilities, primarily in\nMontpellier and the French overseas regions.\nCIRAD is a member of two French consortiums: Agreenium/IAVFF and AllEnvi .\nCIRAD in figures\nA staff of 1650, including 800 researchers.\nJoint operations with more than 100 countries and 200 organizations.\nThree scientific departments: Biological Systems (BIOS), Performance of Tropical Production and Processing Systems\n(PERSYST), and Environment and Societies (ES).\n33 research units.\n14 regional offices throughout the world.\nSome 30 collective research Tools open to partners from the South and from Europe.\nAlmost 5 million euros spent on PhD courses.\nMore than 400 PhD students supervised each year, 60% of them from southern countries.\nInternational Masters courses set up with grandes √©coles or universities in the South.\n800 researchers and technicians from all over the world received and trained each year.\nAn annual budget of 220 million euros in 2019.\n","No","CIRAD is engaged in a partnership for the generation of knowledge on sustainable palm oil production, thus providing science-based evidence to the certification process.\nDuring the Paris International Agricultural Show in February 2017, Michel Eddi, President Managing Director of CIRAD, and Guillaume R√©veilhac, President of the French Alliance for Sustainable Palm Oil (now the Alliance for Preservation of Forests) announced the signing of a three-year partnership agreement, in front of an audience of NGOs and representatives of public authorities. \nThe partnership draws on CIRAD's expertise to support the Alliance's work with its members to develop the sustainable palm oil chain and protect biodiversity in all oil palm growing regions globally. \n\nCIRAD is currently working on the gradual strengthening of a network of technical, scientific and technology transfer projects conducted in partnership in South East Asia on the sustainability of perennial cropping systems. This program, called SALSA (Sustainable Agricultural Systems in Southeast Asia), supported by the Alliance for the Preservation of Forests, should allow a concrete integration of disciplines and multi-stakeholder teams on a network of experimental platforms in South-East Asia. In 2018, Cirad and APF developed a series of joint projects in SouthEast Asia.\n\nA. A decision Support Tool for Pesticide Management\nHow to assess the risks of pesticide leakages in order to improve practices? Research is aiming at adapting an agri-environmental indicator derived from the INDIGO, I-Pest-Palm method, taking into account the very specific palm oil practices and the culture conditions favoring or not the risks of leakage. The indicator has been validated using herbicide loss measurements on experimental plots over several years. The idea is to provide science based information against the belief that the oil palm is a big consumer of pesticides.\n\nB. Life cycle analysis of compost from oil mill residues\nHow to recycle oil palm waste to reduce the carbon impact of CPO production while improving soil quality? The process of composting mill residues allows the concentration of residual nutrients in the waste to optimize the logistical cost of return to the field; it reduces the external input of synthetic mineral fertilizers, and limits the generation of greenhouse gases emitted during the anaerobic treatment of effluents because they are injected into the composting process without being treated. On the other hand, the composting process itself requires energy and can emit greenhouse gases. The life cycle analysis approach, through its holistic perspective, allows for a complete assessment of whether the final impact is indeed positive and where the process can be improved to reduce its negative impacts.\n\nC. Socioeconomic mapping of bushfires over the 2009-2015 period including the El Nino episode (in partnership with WRI)\nThis project focusses on the economic and social typology of fire outbreaks and on the identification of risk areas and families of probable causes. Ongoing research relies on the establishment of prospective models. The aim is to address the misconception that fire outbreaks and their regional consequences (haze) are mainly due to activities form the oil palm industry. The idea is that replacing rural practices (getting rid of biomass residues by using fire) through the purchase of biomass from villagers could prevent up to 42% of fires.\nThis study presently focuses on the impact of industrial concessions exploiting the oil palm, certified RSPO or not, on fire outbreaks.\n\nD. Harvesting of biomass and peatland restoration at a pilot District level \nThe project under discussion with Ogan Komering Ilir district - OKI in South Sumatra and Bureau of Peatland Restoration of Indonesia).\nA R&D Project BIGHGDEAL: Biorefineries, GHG and DEgraded Agricultural Landscapes, is presently under design with Universiti Putra Malaisia. The aim is to innovate sustainably to fight against the outbreak of fires: to give value to the biomass to push to harvest it on the village exploitations. The project is also based on the restoration of peatland areas in agreement with their inhabitants, giving villagers a sustainable economic activity with a high ecological impact: the valorization of biomass for the production of energy and/or biomaterials.\n\nE. The SALSA Platform \nIn order to realize this ambition, CIRAD is setting up a Platform in partnership for the construction of scientific projects and training curricula with its public and private partners in Southeast Asia, a region of the world where problems related to the sustainability of major agricultural sectors are particularly prominent (deforestation, rural poverty reduction, family farming, etc.). \nSALSA (Sustainable Agricultural Landscapes in Southeast Asia) aims to federate and mobilize regional scientific and training skills in the sustainability of perennial crops sectors. SALSA will promote, within a framework of collective action, the concrete integration of disciplines and multi-stakeholder teams into research, training and development projects that will be conducted on the ground through shared experimental networks and academic and training curricula tailored to the needs for present and future skills.\n\nF. Cost and Benefit Analysis of RSPO Certification for Smallholders in Malaysia\nThis research was granted RSPO funding and it is implemented by CIRAD and Universiti Putra Malaisia. In order to close knowledge gaps, this study aims to investigate, using a comprehensive industry cross-section, the financial costs and benefits of RSPO certification. It will include certified, prospective, non-certified and uncertified scheme and independent smallholders. The overarching objective will be segmented to address the research questions below:\n‚Ä¢ To what extent and in what way is RSPO certification profitable for Malaysian smallholders?\n‚Ä¢ Do different types of smallholders experience varying outcomes over time and what is the extent of the difference?\n‚Ä¢ If any are identified, for what reasons do different categories of smallholders experience different outcomes?\n‚Ä¢ If certifications costs are self-funded by smallholders, will RSPO certification still be profitable to them?\n",5,"Yes","Yes","CIRAD budget is 60% from the French Government and 40% from R&D contracts with third parties (both public and private).","Finalizing the construction of the SALSA platform and circulating its Roadmap and Consortium Agreement will be the major target for Cirad in 2019, which means reinforcing partnership links between Cirad and Universities, Research Institutions and plantation companies in South East Asia for advanced research on sustainable commodity chains, including palm oil.\nCollaboration with French Alliance for the Preservation of Forests will be hopefully renewed by contract in 2019. It will provide a basis for long term research programs focusing on smallholders practices and livelihood.\nCirad officers will continue to actively participate in RSPO working groups and RoundTables, including EU-RT.","Awareness of RSPO in the market,Certification of smallholders,Reputation of palm oil in the market,Traceability issues,Others","Knowledge gaps on many issues.","Engagement with government agencies,Research & Development support,Others","Providing science-based evidence and training to stakeholders.","https://collaboratif.cirad.fr/alfresco/s/d/workspace/SpacesStore/ecc64dea-3c96-4220-9b94-3225e45d85bc/RA2017_ENG.pdf\n\nhttps://shop.bdspublishing.com/checkout/Store/bds/Detail/WorkGroup/3-190-56021\n\nhttps://shop.bdspublishing.com/checkout/Store/bds/Detail/WorkGroup/3-190-56022\n"]

Thus far only one blender and two animal feed manufacturers that are members of the AIC have joined the RSPO, which means that the percentage sustainable palm oil being purchased by the sector is likely to have recently reduced‚Ä¶‚Ä¶‚Ä¶  The current challenge is still around the lack of focus on palm oil, which makes up a very small proportion of the products used by the industry (estimated at around 0.33%). This is exacerbated by the fact that many feed manufacturers purchase a blended oil which reduces the visibility of the palm oil itself. We also know from interviews with feed companies that some oil is imported directly to manufacturers from European suppliers, and is not included in the refinery figures of total imports, possibly due to convenience and price. AIC estimates that palm oil included in blended fats for animal feed totals around 40-50,000 tonnes of palm oil per annum. Most palm oil is used in fat blends for ruminants along with PFAD and mixed soft acids. The AIC estimates PFAD usage at 16-20,000 tonnes. The animal feed sector is also a large user of palm kernel meal, which is not included in the headline figures in this report on palm oil and palm kernel oil usage. Imports of palm kernel meal in the UK accounted for 438,000 mt in 2017, compared to 455,000 mt in 2016, 382,000 in 2015, and 663,300 mt in 2009, according to FEDIOL data. According to the Defra report (2011), in 2009 over 80% of the imported palm kernel meal was used for animal feed, with the remaining 20% going into electricity generation. In 2016 no palm kernel meal was reported to Ofgem as used in electricity generation,13 but it is unclear how much palm kernel meal was used by the animal feed sector. Nevertheless, it is certain that this significant volume of palm kernel meal will have sustainability impacts that should be addressed in future work.‚Äù Excerpt from UK Roundtable on Sourcing Sustainable Palm Oil November 2018, Efeca Once the AIC RSPO Credits purchasing system is live ‚Äì currently waiting for HMRC to confirm tax arrangements, animal feed businesses will have another process by which they can support CSPO procurement.","Engagement with business partners or consumers on the use of CSPO,Others","AIC attend the UK Roundtable on Sourcing Sustainable Palm Oil"]
