"Earth-friendly certifications and standards abound for products like
coffee, chocolate and palm oil. But do the programs work?"

[...]

"In the 1980s, it was largely thought that sustainability objectives
would be achieved via government policies that would mandate certain
basic sustainability practices. Over the years it became clear that most
states — especially developing countries — were not able to do this
effectively because they had other priorities and limited capacity."
