The multi-stakeholder platform Grow Asia brings together farmers, governments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations in South-East Asia. Its aim is to reconcile efforts to increase productivity and profitability with the need for sustainable land management. This makes the MAP Grow Asia, presented in this factsheet, a good example of how MSPs can make valuable contributions to achieving SDG 15.

For social and economic development to thrive, natural resources such as soil and forests must be managed carefully so that biodiversity and a healthy environment are preserved in the long term. This is what Sustainable Development Goal 15 – Life on land – aims to achieve. It also includes a pledge to combat desertification and halt and reverse soil degradation. In this context, multi-stakeholder partnerships can provide key impetus.
