Research Objectives:This project aims to improve ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards in China's agricultural investment projects. The main goal is to create a network for sharing knowledge that supports sustainable practices in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project will focus on sharing global best practices and drawing from China's own experiences to strengthen these efforts.

Research Methodology:The research will take a broad approach, including comparing existing standards, consulting with key stakeholders, and conducting case studies. It will examine current ESG frameworks to find ways for China’s agricultural investments abroad to adopt global ESG standards.

Research Findings:The project is expected to develop a ESG framework for China's agricultural investments. A detailed research report will be prepared, offering practical advice and recommendations for applying ESG standards to these projects. This report will serve as a useful resource for policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders, promoting sustainable practices, improving transparency, and better managing risks.
