Geolocation and the EU Deforestation Regulation
This report provides a concise overview of the geolocation requirements under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which aims to ensure that high-risk commodities entering or leaving the EU are deforestation-free and legally produced. It explains the importance of accurate geolocation data for due diligence, outlines key technical concepts and data collection tools, and highlights common challenges and solutions for implementation. The report also discusses how robust geolocation systems not only support regulatory compliance but can drive market access, digital transformation, and sustainability across agricultural supply chains.
