Sustainable Agriculture in Africa

In partnership with the Malawi Small Dairy Farmers Project, CISDL is providing support and counsel on the legal implications of their sustainable agriculture initiative in Africa. CISDL is also investigating ways to replicate this work with similar organizations in other parts of Africa. Research examines the international law regime for the preservation and protection of arable soil, the fundamental ingredient of sustainable agriculture, and the various certification standards available in the international arena concerning sustainable farming, fair trade farming and organic farming.
