Dear members of the HLPE,

With regards to forestry and FSN, World Animal Protection would like to point to the benefits of silvopastoral systems. These can produce multiple wins:  productivity and profitability gains; environmental improvements, enhanced biodiversity and animal welfare benefits. Perhaps the scope could make explicit mentioning of this.

As background, see attached a case study of the experience in Colombia.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Best regards,

Dirk Verdonk
