The Better Sugarcane Initiative, an initiative of the World Wildlife Fund, is a group of sugarcane retailers, investors, traders, producers and NGOs who seek to create international standards that define sustainable sugarcane cultivation. [1] The importance of this initiative is the wide cultivation of sugarcane and its possible impacts both positive and negative. Sugarcane is grown in 103 countries and accounts for 60-70% of sugar production, a figure which is expected to increase as world demand for ethanol increases. [2]
