In this podcast, Kristin Komives from ISEAL Alliance discusses the findings of a report published in 2018, exploring the conservation impacts of voluntary standard systems (VSS). The report reflects on new VSS studies in the agricultural, forestry, marine fisheries and aquaculture sectors to revisit the issue of the state of knowledge about their conservation impacts and, going forward, consider how best to advance VSS impacts research.
